I've also heard March for release of the graphics chip. It's supposed to be mid-range capable but then the mid-range has been shifting up considerably. They had targetd a $30 ASP but if it comes in much below Intel's offering, then it will have to be priced much more agressively. My perception, just based on how it's being downplayed by IDTI, is that it's not going to set the world on fire but will just be another part to offer along with the C6. From a marketing perspective, IDTI could offer some nice package deals for C6 +graphics chips for low to mid-range systems. IDTI needs to have 3D graphics capability that they can roll into future versions of the C6.

Various articles have discussed Intel's part - everything from it being somewhere in performance between the S3 GX and the Voodoo I, to it being about equal to the Voodoo II or Rendition chips. I guess the truth will be out shortly.
