Why is that...

[Kombatant]

...everyone calls ATI's multi-VPU solution "MVP"? ATI made an announcement about the name?

Just curious

edit: Don't forget I've been mostly away the past 9 months so I might have missed something.

I think because we didn't know that the ATi term for it was going to be "AMR" for so long and we didn't want to use "SLI" to avoid confusion, but I could be wrong. (I am, a lot. )

One asus mainboard with ati chipset shown i think at cebit with dual peg-16 slots had the code xxxx-MVP similiar as the nvidia sli board has xxxx-SLI

Some drivers reveal MVPU string entrys if they are dis-assembled

This is what tEd is talking about in the drivers:

"MVPU"
"MVPUPeerToPeerBlt3D"
"MVPUPeerToPeerBltEnable"
"MVPUSplitRTarget_X"
"MVPUSplitRTarget_Y"
"MVPUSplitTexture_X"
"MVPUSplitTexture_Y"
"MVPUThreshold_H"
"MVPUThreshold_W"
"MVPUWaitSemaphoreEnable"

I see.. I really doubt that will be the official name tho.

Yeah I thought the official name had already been pretty much discovered by now... here is a hint for those still not up to speed.

Unless there's a post on Rage3D or elsewhere, you're the first person to moot that name. Where did you get it from?

It was spelled out in my alphabits this morning.

Don't read the Inquirer much, Fudo's main sources all either post here or in a couple of other places, so I can read his stuff by proxy

Yeah I saw that after I posted my hint above. If I get in any trouble I'll just point there and blame it on Fudo

Now it's my turn to look surprised and pretend I didn't know a thing, right?
