Hardware Everywhere

Whole boatload of big hardware announcements today...first off, is ATI, who announced their RAGE 128 Pro line, including separate boards for high end PCs/workstations, and consumers. Look for those in July...second, we've got Matrox touting their G400 MAX as, "the world’s fastest 3D and 2D acceleration." Here's a bit from their press release:

The Matrox G400 MAX benefits from an increase in raw speed of more than 30% over the Matrox G400 and can achieve peak 3D fill rates in excess of 333 Mtexels/second. On industry standard benchmarks, the new Matrox G400 MAX comes close to maxing out Ziff Davis’ 3D WinBench 99 test with a score of 1080 at 1024 x 768 resolution. The Matrox G400 MAX graphics chip also includes an industry-leading 360Mhz UltraSharp RAMDAC capable of driving high-end monitors at resolutions up to 2048 x 1536, 32-bpp at 85Hz.

Not to be outdone, NVIDIA announced today that the TNT-based Viper 550 from Diamond Multimedia has been chosen as an option in Hewlett Packard's Pavilion line of PCs...and if you're not totally sick of hardware by this point, GuruTech has an interview with S3's Paul Crossley regarding their S4 chipset (thanks Billy "Ambien" Wilson).
