Intel Investors - Intel Launches the i752 "Portola" 2D/3D Graphics chip. This is a stand-alone version of the graphics engine inside the i810 chip set, and is targeted at mainstream AGP implementations. This is pretty cheap chip - $20 a pop if you need 10,000 of them ! Paul {=================================} Tuesday April 27, 11:01 am Eastern Time Company Press Release Intel Introduces Intel 752 Graphics Accelerator Chip, the Complete Multimedia Solution for Mainstream PCs SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 27, 1999--Intel Corporation today announced the Intel® 752 graphics accelerator chip, a complete multimedia solution for Intel® Pentium® III processor-based platforms that delivers enriched visual quality for consumer and business software applications. Featuring Intel® Scalable Graphics Architecture, the Intel 752 graphics accelerator brings high-quality 2-D graphics, enthusiast-level 3-D rendering and advanced digital video acceleration to mainstream PCs. The Intel 752 also represents the newest member of the Intel® Graphics Technology (IGT) family, building on the success the award-winning Intel 740(TM) graphics accelerator. ''The Intel 752 offers PC users an all-terrain graphics accelerator specifically designed for the high-performance 2-D, 3-D and digital video visualization demands created by the Internet and today's consumer and business software applications,'' said Gary Thomas, general manager of the Intel Graphics Components Division. Intel Graphics Technology and the Intel 752 In an effort to design graphics controllers optimized for each PC market segment, Intel is introducing its next-generation graphics technology featuring Intel Scalable Graphics Architecture. This architecture provides a common graphics instruction set and software compatibility with all products in the Intel Graphics Technology family, including the Intel 752 and the recently introduced Intel® 810 chipset with integrated graphics optimized for Value PCs. Intel graphics controllers with Intel Scalable Graphics Architecture also feature compatible drivers, helping deliver a new level of quality, completeness and stability to the PC industry. The Ideal Graphics Accelerator for the Internet Optimized for the Intel Pentium III processor and Streaming SIMD Extensions, the Intel 752 is the ideal graphics accelerator for an unparalleled Internet experience. The Intel 752 is validated with Intel® WebOutfitter(SM) tools to ensure that leading-edge Internet, e-commerce and entertainment applications are viewed on the PC at the best quality possible. The Intel 752 also features consistent color rendering technology created through sub-color precision and independent color and gamma controls. ''The Intel 752 delivers accurate and high-impact visualization of Web content. It is your window to the Web,'' said Thomas. The Complete Multimedia Solution Advanced technology, high performance and future upgradeability combine to make the Intel 752 graphics accelerator the complete multimedia accelerator for volume PC graphics. Here are the highlights: -- Breakthrough Visual Quality advances the state-of-the-art 2-D, 3-D and video performance. The Pixel Precise Engine extends Intel's hyperpipelined architecture with new features, such as a 16 tap anisotropic filter, emboss bump mapping, texture compression and texture compositing. -- Advanced Digital Video Technology completes the multimedia experience and supports the convergence of PCs with digital video streams from a wide variety of input sources: VCR, camcorder, TV tuner, MPEG-2(a) and Web video streams. Software DVD is accelerated through a high-precision, hardware-based motion compensation algorithm to maximize system performance with the most exciting and demanding DVD titles. -- Leading Flat Panel Solution that supports revision 1.0 of the Digital Visual Interface (DVI) specification, authored by Intel and the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG). This advanced digital connectivity specification protects investment in current display technology, and allows OEMs to easily take advantage of new innovations that improve the visual computing experience. -- Intel® Upgradeable AGP is an industry first, providing a simple and cost-effective migration path from AGP2X to AGP4X. This technology enables a Intel 752 graphics accelerator down on the motherboard with an AGP4X slot for future upgrades to the platform. Pricing and Availability The Intel 752 will be available in volume production in early June for third-party graphics vendors and OEM manufacturers to ship products later in the month. It is priced at $19.50 in 10,000-unit quantities. Intel, the world's largest chip maker, is also a leading manufacturer of computer, networking and communications products.
