`05.May.2002` AnandTech	3D: 3DLabs' P10 VPU - When a CPU & GPU collide On 3 May 2002 an English article about P10-VPU (Visual Processing Unit) by 3DLabs was published at AnandTech. As a 3D processor this VPU exceeds the previous possibilities of the GPUs (Vertex, Pixel-Shader) and is supposed to be more easily programmed. The article describes the basic architecture of P10-VPU and compares it to GeForce4. The article doesn't talk about the command setting of VPU. Some information about this is included in the Heise newsticker news: 'Graphic processor for everything'. The chip is supposed to contain more than 200 SIMD units and it can support complex operations such as loops and subroutines, which the current Vertex and Pixel-Shaders cannot do. Appendix 05.05.2002: press release about VPU by 3DLabs from 3 May 2002. (sd) (Translation: sr) [News message: 05. May. 2002, 18:05] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

`04.May.2002` Jens Schönfeld (ANF)	Delfina Flipper: Technical changes The preparations for the sound card "Delfina Flipper Edition" have reached the last phase before production. Some technical details had to be changed in order to keep the announced price. Here are the most important changes: A cable for connection to the A1200 clockport will not be included. A connection kit will be available separately for 10,- EUR. To use the Midi-ports, a separate cable is necessary. It's a standard Midi cable that is also used by PC sound cards, and it will not be included with the Delfina Flipper. It can be ordered separately for 9,- EUR. Pre-orders for the Delfina are taken by your reseller. (ps) [News message: 04. May. 2002, 10:51] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
