Intel GMA900
dunno if anyone has seen this at Anandtech
i think that the reviewer is a bit misinformed as in the fact that TBR is not an STMicro property, its Imagitec's instead... what i wanted 2 ask is, is that the IGP that is based on the powervr S5 chip? permomance wise it kinda blows... even with a faster cpu...

 AFAIK it's Intel design from bottom to top (although there was once some rumors about ATi helping Intel on bringing integrated DX9 to markets)

Though I do recall seeing benchmarks somewhere that clearly indicated it was not a deferred renderer. I can't remember where I saw them or for that matter which benchmark it was. Anybody with one of these systems want to test out some fillrate tests at different levels of overdraw and settle the question once and for all. |

Intel's new line of integrated stuff is SM2.0 compliant last time I checked, it doesn't deserve IMHO a full tile based deferred renderer title and is Intel's own in house development. As for that ST Micro crap: ST had licensed graphics IP from IMG, in order to get the KYRO-line to market. They never developed any graphics accelerators themselves. |

This has actually been mentioned in a couple of threads but without much comment.
I would have posted a comment on the AnandTech site to inform Derek of his error, but don't have a username there and couldn't be bothered, really.
