Ati demonstrates the first pci express processor

Description
ATI is demonstrating the world’s first visual processor to incorporate PCI Express, the newest PC interconnect standard, at the Intel Developers Forum (IDF) in San Jose.

ATI has designed, developed and validated in tests with Intel, the industry’s first visual processor using the brand-new PCI Express bus to accelerate the movement of information between the visual processor and the central processor.

PCI Express is the most significant transition the PC industry has undergone in the past decade. We already have working silicon that uses PCI Express natively, said Rick Bergman, Senior Vice President of Marketing and General Manager, Desktop, ATI Technologies Inc. As the industry transitions to PCI Express and as chipset and motherboard companies make this new interconnect available to customers, ATI will be ready with visual processors that can take advantage of the advanced capabilities.

ATI has been a key player in the development of PCI Express standards since its inception, first sitting on the original steering committee and continuing to influence and support the PCI Special Interest Group (PCI-SIG).

ATI is demonstrating the world's first PCI Express visual processor on multiple Intel platforms at Fall IDF, Randy Wilhelm, Vice President of the Client Platform Division at Intel Corporation. By validating its products with Intel’s PCI Express development platforms, ATI will help ensure interoperability that will benefit the end user’s experience.

S3 Graphics & PCI Express:
S3 Graphics Inc., a leading supplier to the 3D graphics accelerator market, today announced full support for the new PCI Express Initiative with a full line of high performance graphics processors for desktop and mobile personal computers. The product family, planned for the second half of 2004, will cover the high end, mainstream and value segments of the 3D accelerated GPU market and take full advantage of the expanded bandwidth capabilities of PCI Express. For the high performance segment, the new graphics processor will boast a totally new architecture that will rival the best contemporary technologies, with flexible graphics processing pipelines to focus the power where it is needed for dramatically increased performance.


Muito interessante.......especialmente a parte da nova arquitectura.
 
Sorry pelo duplo post, mas:

Jeffrey Cheng from ATI, Michael Abel from INTC and David Reed from Nvidia all agree that the faster bus will give better bandwidth and scalability, allow large request size and pipeline depths, and give isochronous support. The bandwidth will deliver simultaneous 8GB/s concurrent peak bandwidth in X16 mode. PCI Express will also provide a pipeline depth of up to 256.

Graphics cards using PCI Express tech will, however, require 75 watts max, and that means a few things. First, the 12 volts on an ATX power supply won't do the trick. The answer will be to use a 2x12 connector with the same pinouts as server SSIs, which requires a 300W power supply.

The other problem is that machines will need to use side panel vents, ducting, and use large fans.
 
Nvidia & PCI Express

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

INTEL DEVELOPERS FORUM—SAN JOSE, CA—SEPTEMBER 15, 2003—NVIDIA Corporation (Nasdaq: NVDA), the worldwide leader in visual processing solutions, today reaffirmed support for the PCI Express™ architecture by announcing that the Company is currently developing a complete family of next-generation desktop, mobile, and workstation graphics processing units (GPUs) that are designed to take advantage of the added bandwidth that the new I/O interconnection standard delivers.

“Bandwidth has always been a gating factor for 3D graphics and the PCI Express architecture addresses that issue with high frequency, scalable data paths,” said Dan Vivoli, executive vice president of marketing at NVIDIA Corporation. “PCI Express will be a key enabler of cinematic computing because it delivers the high-speed data transfer rates that NVIDIA needs to push 3D graphic technology to the next-level.”

“The adoption of PCI Express by NVIDIA for its graphics processing units illustrates the benefits that the PCI Express standard provides for graphics applications,” said Randy Wilhelm, vice president of the Client Platform Division at Intel Corporation. “Through working with Intel, on their PCI Express product development, NVIDIA will help ensure that their devices work effectively on Intel’s platforms.”

Next-generation NVIDIA® GPUs that support the new PCI Express standard will be available in lock-step with Intel’s PCI Express product launch schedules.

The PCI Express architecture is the next step in delivering the bandwidth and features required for new graphics applications. PCI Express significantly increases bandwidth between the central processing unit (CPU) and GPU by enabling a balanced distribution of bandwidth to those applications that require it the most. For end-users, this results in a seamless multimedia experience with cinematic-quality graphics at its core.
 
Desculpem a minha ignorância mas gostaria de saber quando é k isto do PCI Express vai ser norma nas placas gráficas?A performance em relação ao AGP vai ser muito melhor?Quais serão as vantagens?Fiquem bem

Poix, isso tb nós gostávamos de saber, ainda n há testes, datas de lançamento, etc......
 
Resumindo, graficas cada vez mais caras, e boards mais baratas.
e jah ando a axar as graficas um autentico abuso de dinheiro!

valerá a pena comprar uma grafica ou uma consola?

Quem ganha eh a performance, sem duvida, mas até que ponto serah isto necessario me pergunto eu, que nao vejo diferença entre o agp 4x e 8x.
