News announcements from Intel Developer Forum, Palm Springs, CA. - August 31, 1999
S3 TO SHOWCASE EMERGING DIGITAL DISPLAY TECHNOLOGY AT INTEL DEVELOPER FORUM
S3's Savage4 Accelerator Chosen for 70+ Demos Showing Strength of Digital Visual Interface
INTEL DEVELOPER FORUM, PALM SPRINGS, Calif. --- August 31, 1999 -- Highlighting the strength of its display technology, S3® Incorporated (Nasdaq: SIII) today announced that its S3's Savage4TM accelerator will provide a graphics platform for showcasing the rapidly emerging Digital Visual Interface (DVI) specification. At this week's Intel Developer Forum (IDF), Intel and the DDWG will be demonstrating DVI with more than 70 Savage4-powered digital flat panel demos in Intel's Labs and Concept House displays, as well as in the DDWG booth. Based on S3's award-winning Savage4 accelerator, these demos will clearly show hardware and software developers working on next-generation PC designs the advantages of digital display technology.
"Working closely with S3 and other industry leaders, we are making huge strides with our DVI initiative, said Steve Spina, strategic initiative manager for Intel Corporation and administrator of the DDWG. "This is a crucial technology for next-generation PCs as it moves the industry toward emerging digital display technologies and away from archaic analog interfaces."
Further expanding its presence at IDF, S3 today also announced that it is publicly demonstrating its just announced Savage2000TM accelerator for the first time at the show (IDF Booth #74). Featuring stunning 3D performance for PC gamers, superior digital video playback and TV-out support for home users and high-resolution 2D image quality and digital flat panel support for professional users, Savage2000 combines unmatched functionality and mind-numbing speed to deliver today's most complete PC graphics solution.
Providing software developers with more technical information on S3's Savage2000 and other next-generation 3D technology, Raja Koduri, Software Engineer for S3's 3D Architecture Group, will be participating in Intel's Optimizing Software AGP 4x Graphics Workshop with a presentation entitled S3: High-Resolution Texture Implementation In 3D Games (Today at 2:30.)
