That new technology is currently called Mosaic. No, it's not a 3dfx enhanced web browser, but rather a new 3D graphics core that 3dfx boasts "50% better performance than today's graphics products, at one-fifth the die size and with one-third the required memory bandwidth." That definitely sounds like 3dfx has been putting that GigaPixel (tile rendering) technology to good use.

"Just as in 1995, 3dfx Interactive pioneered the move to bring 3D graphics to the PC," said Scott Sellers, chief technology officer, 3dfx Interactive, Inc. "We plan to leverage our Mosaic 3D technology to drive 3D on to these high-volume consumer platforms as well."

With 3dfx's recent dismissal of the Voodoo5 6000, and now the concentration back onto technology instead of production, the company certainly looks to have some big plans for 2001

Sad but true that day never came :-[ I only wish that day did come, NV SLi would of been nothing compared to the mighty 3dfx SLi ;)
