	News - ATI talks Rev graphics chip // Wii /// Eurogamer
		As those who are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Revolution may know, technology giant ATI is currently hard at work developing the graphics chip that will power the new machine - and now they've gone on record to tell us a little bit more about it.
		In a recent interview with RevolutionReport.com, ATI's John Swiminer confirmed that the Revolution chip, currently titled Hollywood, will not be based on current or forthcoming PC architecture - but he didn't say whether it is instead based on Flipper, the chip used in the GameCube.
		Even when the Flipper chips came out, people were asking that question: "Is this a spin-off of something done on the PC?", and the answer is no," Swiminer stated.

	Graphics chip - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Early graphics chips, often also referred to as Video Display Processors, were simple video adapters for generating text and computer graphics on a video computer display found in early computers and graphics cards.
		It was sometimes connected to a simple radio frequency adapter for interfacing with a common television receiver.
		The more advanced graphics chips available today, capable of independent computation and graphics processing are nowadays generally called graphics processing units, in analogy with central processing units.

	ITworld.com - Nvidia debuts graphics chip for handhelds
		Looking to break away from its traditional PC graphics market, Nvidia Corp. introduced on Tuesday its first graphics chip, the GoForce 2150, designed to be used in handheld devices such as mobile phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs).
		The chip was unveiled at the Computex exhibition in Taipei, which runs through Sept. 26.
		The chip's LCD controller allows fast-switching between dual screen interfaces, such as those found on clam-shell phone handsets with a small external display and a larger internal color screen, the company said.

		The graphics chip industry is readying for a renewed scuffle this autumn, as chipmaker Nvidia prepares its bid to regain the performance crown and other chip designers refresh their products.
		Details of the NV30 are sketchy, but the chip is Nvidia's answer to ATI's Radeon 9700 chip, which has been the clear performance leader since its introduction in July, according to experts and ZDNet UK Labs tests.
		It will also give graphics card owners a way to keep their hardware up-to-date while they are waiting for faster, more complex graphics chips to arrive.

	nVidia rolls out new graphics chip - Feb. 22, 2001
		The chip is being likened to the "little brother" of the X-Box's graphics engine.
		Additionally, the chip handles a sizable percentage of the necessary calculations itself, freeing up the computer's main processor to handle other functions.
		Because the chip's technology is so closely tied with the X-Box — and because the X-Box is so similar to a PC (developer-wise) — consumers likely will see popular X-Box titles ported over to the PC to boost the bottom line of publishers.

	ATI Answers Rival with New Graphics Chip
		Graphics chipmaker ATI (Quote, Chart) upped the ante in its battle with rival NVIDIA (Quote, Chart) with the release of a new high-end processor: the RADEON X800.
		NVIDIA's inroads with Dell (Quote, Chart) and HP (Quote, Chart) have helped it sell more of its GPUs and the GeForce 6800 chip is based on some of the same core specs as the RADEON line but some analysts and enthusiasts sites are already crowning the X800 as the faster of the two.
		The chip will be powered by a 16-pipe pixel processing engine clocked at 520MHz and has been paired with high-speed 1.12GHz data rate GDDR3 memory and a 256-bit memory interface.

		Graphic accelerators these days are plentiful and there's always one being talked about that will make the one you just spent your last paycheck on, obsolete.
		Of course the big question is, "How long do I hold off on a 3D card?" The general rule of thumb is that so long as you update every year or two, you will most likely have a card that will work with any game that comes out on the market during that time.
		The GeForce2 graphics core closely reflects what we should be seeing in the basic NV20 technology, however with increased pixel pipelines and textures/pipeline.

		Approximately three times more powerful than the GeForce Ti4600 (nVidia's current top of the line chip), the GeForce FX is two steps beyond the graphics chip nVidia supplied for the Microsoft (MSFT: Research, Estimates) Xbox.
		At the same time, using nVidia's just-released CineFx architecture, the chip can render graphics that are superior to the "Toy Story" movies, moving closer to those in the critically-panned, but technically praised film "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within".
		Because the GeForce FX was delayed by several months, the ATI (ATYT: Research, Estimates) chip (introduced in July) stole the spotlight.

	Nvidia chip offers preview of Xbox graphics \| CNET News.com
		The new chip has two key advantages over its predecessor and current rivals: It can produce more realistic images and is programmable, meaning that programmers can create their own special effects to give their games a more distinct look.
		Although graphics chips have grown quite powerful in recent years, computer games have tended to look rather similar because programmers have had to rely on the same effects, such as the lighting of scenes.
		However, the chip won't be three times as physically large thanks to advances in chipmaking technology.

	3dfx to stop making graphics cards - Nov. 14, 2000
		This is an abrupt switch from the December 1998 takeover of STB Systems, which 3dfx heralded as a move that would put them in charge of their own destiny.
		A substantial reason for the loss was the delay of its Voodoo5 graphics boards, which - though introduced at 1999's Comdex show -- were not available at retail until nearly late in the second quarter.
		Other graphics companies, such as nVidia (NVDA: Research, Estimates) and S3, focus on developing new generations of their 3D graphics chips, then sell those to manufacturers, such as Creative Labs (CREAF: Research, Estimates), which manufacture the boards.
