Intel's next major graphics release is expected in the first part of 1999.Rather than release a cutting-edge 3D chip, however, the company willrelease "Whitney," a chipset with integrated 3D performance for budgetcomputers. Competitors such as 3DLabs, meanwhile, are working on taking some of thework away from the main processor in a challenge to Intel's motherboardhegemony. Graphics chip vendors are looking at chip designs that wouldtake over the geometry processing--the generation and movement of thepolygons that make up the outline of an object-from the host CPU, becausethat is the main bottleneck in graphics performance these days, accordingto Mercury's McCarron.
Meanwhile, ATI's chip will power three new graphics accelerator cards fromATI and will also be offered in a version that can be used on PCs maincircuit board, The Rage 128 will be able to process multiple pixels in eachclock cycle for improved performance and can support of up to 32MB of fastgraphics memory, compared to today's typical two or four megabytes, Thechip can also be used to playback DVD titles using MPEG-2 compression, ATI said the Rage 128 GL will ship in volume starting in September and willbe moshi vitros iphone 8 plus slim case - black reviews priced at $40 in quantities of 10,000, The Rage 128 VR for use on mainsystem boards will be priced at $30 in quantities of 10,000, These pricesare comparable to the prices of parts from other vendors..
The GL chip will be offered in the Xpert board for consumers in a small orhome office setting, the Rage Magnum for OEMs and graphics professionals,and the Rage Fury for the game market. The Xpert 128 will be priced at $199 retail with 16MB of memory while theRage Fury will be priced at $299 with 32MB of memory. No pricing wasannounced for the Rage Magnum. All add-in card products are expected toship in October 1998. CNET News.com's Michael Kanellos contributed to this report. ATI hopes its new 3D chip, the Rage 128, will solidify its lead in the highly competitive graphics chip market.
ATI's new chip, called the Rage 128, will moshi vitros iphone 8 plus slim case - black reviews be essential to maintainingthe company's current place as the largest graphics chip and add-in boardvendor, analysts say, ATI's market share in overall desktop graphics chipshas grown to 27 percent on the strength of its Rage family of chips,according to a recent report from MercuryResearch, However, competitors such as Nvidia, 3Dfx, 3Dlabs, and S3 are all nipping at ATI's heels with theirown 128-bit graphics processors priced at $45 and under, And, in thismarket, a shift in the lead could occur quickly..

Instead,AMD is pricing its chips to ensure that a computer built around an AMD willcost less than a system built around the closest Intel competitor. And,rather than just compete against Intel in the consumer realm, AMD will tryto branch out into the business market. "In the future, the actual discount is going to vary for a competingperformance product," Krelle said. "The trouble is we are leaving thearena of easy comparability." The K6-2 will largely be priced againstCeleron chips when the clock speeds are equal, but lockstep pricing will begone.
