Ingen konkurrence fra ati til ageia PhysX foreløbig




ATI har tidligere på året fremvist deres bud på en physics løsning hvor et grafikkort bliver dedikeret til disse beregninger, men det er ikke en løsning vi kommer til at se i butikkerne lige med det samme, og slet ikke i et stort antal.

Dave’sreply was that we won’t see physics in volume (i.e. hundreds ofthousands of cards being used for physics) and therefore a materialrevenue stream from physics for 9-12 months (i.e. another 3-4 quarters)as that’s when there will be some substantial volume of ATI graphicscards being used for physics purposes.

ATI GPU’s thatsupport physics acceleration are already in retail (i.e. the X1900 andX1600 series of cards for example).  All that’s required is a driverupdate that enables physics processing, and more importantly, gamecontent which we expect around the holidays.  We’re very likely to seerevenue from physics before 9-12 months, but as Dave said it won’t bein volume, it will likely be early adopters.
