S3 Graphics Chrome 400 Series Graphics Processors

Now, it would have been great, if one had been available over the last year, but demand must have been so great, that even S3 itself never had some in stock. Ebay's empty as well - at least here in germany.

Chrome 400/500 goes IGP: http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/chipsets/v-series/vn1000/index.jsp

good. now please mass produce and sell it
we need competition for those crippled atom motherboards with one dimm slot and 100Mbit network, and the lack of low end AM3 motherboards.

i remember a long time ago when kz was renamed to kt133 and was inside half the desktop
i can't understand why no one put it in a mboard and sell it at retail
some nano board would be nice too...

What happened to the VIA+nv chipset partnership? I thought that was a line nv was pushing hard on?

 

[fehu]

maybe via like more to not sell nothing instead that earning half with nvidia

Because it has writable L1,L2 Cache like Fermi that Chrome is very fast.
In spite of there being only ability for operation of only 35.2gflops.

Maybe I missed something, but from where did you read Chrome has a read/write cache? Nothing in that diagram indicates such.

and

L1,L2 which is connected directly with shader in the picture(separately from Texture Cache).

You're basically reposting the same thing you said above. Spam?

Is Chrome540GTX's performance in SDK samples really that interesting?

As for Fermi, a Geometry performance largely improves by Cache.
There is GSCubemap as the one example.

And there is 540GTX which shows a good result in GSCubemap in mov.

GF100 has greatly improved geometry performance. I'm not sure how that data point leads to the conclusion of a read/write cache in Chrome. I suspect you're reading too much into a marketing diagram because the specs would surely specify read/write cache if it exists.

I exactly want to know what's the hell going on inside the VIA S3.....Why they choose aviation?
