S3 Announces Savage 2000

Savage Daily News has posted a press release from S3 announcing the Savage 2000, as well as news that Diamond Multimedia will be making the first card to utilize it, which will be priced at under $250. The next-generation chipset has a fillrate of 700 Mega Texels per second, which dwarfs the Voodoo 3 3500 (and Voodoo 2 SLI) by over 300. It's not actually going to be announced until tomorrow here in the US, but SDN is on UK time, where it's already tomorrow. Here's a list of the chip's features, shamelessly yoinked from the site:

  • 128-bit memory support (up to 200MHz).
  • Up to 200MHz engine clock.
  • Up to 64MB of memory - allowing resolutions up to 1600x1200 triple buffered with 32-bit per pixel color depth and a 32 bit Z-buffer, with 32MB left for textures, and also full-scene anti-aliasing at higher resolutions.
  • 350MHz RAMDAC.
  • DVI-compliant digital flat panel technology.
  • TV-out support.
  • AGP 4X technology.
  • Sustained fill rate of 700+ MegaTexels/second.
  • QuadTexture engine.
  • S3TL Transform and lighting engine.
  • S3TC.
  • DTV/DVD Playback.
  • Motion Compensation Engine.
  • Fully Compliant VIP 2.0 Bus.
  • Priced at $29 (USD) each in quantity of 10,000 units.
