Fujitsu and S3 Graphics tie up to make 3D graphics processors
Announced today, Fujitsu has teamed up with graphics processor maker S3 to roll out their new line of GPU’s featuring the 90nm process technology. Perhaps we’ll see a little competition with ATI and Nvidia, who both currently have a tight reign over VGA solutions. Only time can tell on this one.
Fujitsu today announced that it will be producing S3 Graphics’ new range of high-performance graphics processors, leveraging Fujitsu’s 90nm process technology, at its Mie plant, in Mie prefecture (Japan). Fujitsu will manufacture the “Chrome” graphics processor family, S3 Graphics’ most advanced 3D graphics processors, says the company. The new silicon built with the 90nm process technology at Fujitsu shows up to 75% performance improvement over earlier S3 Graphics generations, enabling the new range to offer richer Hi-Def video features and more vibrant 3D graphics, according to the company. Fujitsu?s 300mm wafer facility, which was launched at its Mie plant in April 2005, has expanded and enhanced the vendor’s capability to produce CMOS semiconductor products for its customers, according to the company. Based on Fujitsu’s aggressive technology roadmap, S3 Graphics is looking to continue its foundry relationship with Fujitsu for products beyond the 90nm generation.
