3Dlabs Introduces Breakthrough Visual Processing Architecture
SUNNYVALE, CA -- 3Dlabs(R), Inc. Ltd. (Nasdaq:TDDD) today announced a ground-breaking "Visual Processing Architecture" that combines the architectural strengths and programmability of general-purpose CPUs with extreme levels of hardware parallelism. This architecture, which has been in development for the past two years and has significant patents pending, enables advanced software rendering techniques to be accelerated in real time to produce interactive imagery with stunning levels of realism. 3Dlabs expects to ship board-level products based on the first Visual Processing Unit (VPU), a chip codenamed the P10, during the third quarter of 2002.
