Innovision will sell kyro 2 at 115 us$ ???
you know what that mean...
70 us$ for 64 mbs kyro 2 oem...
Hong Kong 4th June, 2001 --- InnoVISION Multimedia is excited to announce the second in a series of 3D graphic accelerator based on the innovative architecture KYROII 3D processor from STMicroelectronics and Imagination Technologies' PowerVR? Series3 technology - the Inno3D KYRO II 4500. This 3D accelerator combines breathtaking 3D graphics image quality, stunning 3D graphics performance and super crisp 2D Graphics. It also delivers studio quality Video Playback and DVD decode support. The Inno3D KYRO II 4500 features the best of tile based rendering and offers the ultimate experience to the whole gaming community at a fraction of the price.
ST's new KYRO II utilizes revolutionary PowerVR Tile Based Rendering and Deferred Texturing to avoid the memory bottleneck and deliver excellent image quality combined with stunning graphics performance. KYRO II built -in the unique 3D features such as, fast 128-bit 2D acceleration, video acceleration including high quality scaling and hardware motion compensation, full featured 3D acceleration for both DirectX and OpenGL, Full Screen Anti-Aliasing, 8-Layer Multi-texturing, 32-bit Internal True Color and Direct3D Environmental Bump Mapping which establishes KYRO II as one of the best 3D solutions in the market.
KYRO II's Tile Based Rendering makes extremely efficient use of the available memory bandwidth, it can be shown that the PowerVR Tile Based Rendering technology requires less than one third of the memory bandwidth required by conventional 3D accelerators. This frees content developers to focus on realistic environments rather than having to resort to programming tricks to reduce scene complexity and image quality, which are required to improve frame rate with traditional 3D accelerators. In summary, the Inno3D KYRO II 4500 is a smart and clever design where economic use is made of all the resources, unlike the traditional brute-force designs which must be coupled with expensive yet inefficiently used memory architectures.
The Inno3D KYRO II 4500 delivers superior levels of realism, high frame rates, unprecedented image quality and performance, with the cost advantage of the PowerVR tiling architecture over conventional 3D which makes it an affordable graphic solution with no compromise for serious gamers . The Inno3D KYRO II 4500 has full support for both Microsoft DirectX 7 and OpenGL 3D graphics APIs. It will ship with fully optimized drivers for Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000.
Volume production of Inno3D KYRO II 4500 will be ready from now. Inno3D KYRO II 4500 will hit the market with a configuration with 64MB Memory and TV-output capability optional. MSRP for 64MB retail version with active cooler is at US$115
