Following a tip over on MF, I found this posted on the All Games Network site: ------------------------------------------------------------------ Brian Crese summarized the specs on the upcoming 3Dfx 2D/3D chip, the Avenger. We will be at the press conference for this new chip next Monday morning and will be able to provide you with more info then. All I can say is if this chip performs anywhere near the level of the speculation, you better buy some 3Dfx stock while it is still cheap. 0.25u, 125MHz chipset 10 million triangles/sec 500Mtexels/s fill rate 32Mb 125-150MHz SDRAM/SGRAM 16bpp and 32bpp rendering Improved Banshee 2D core Volume shipment 1Q 99 $250-$300 retail 3Dfx expects to hit 1 billion texels/s in a separate $500+ product due by year's end; with these products, 3Dfx expects to remain at the forefront of the performance curve through 2000.
