Title: Questions about Sage T&L-Chip.
Post by Narmounet on 02.03.09 at 01:39:40

Hi !

Justs few questions about the SAGE chip : Was it already taped out when 3dfx went down ? Or if it wasn't taped out, did engineers were working on it ? Beaucse I can't find information about it on internet :-?

Rumor has it that the first bunch of chips ( manufactured by TSMC ) arrived a few days after 3dfx closed its doors.
Question is where those chips went then...

There are pins on the outside of the chip package, voodoo I or II I suspect.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
