S3 GammaChromeS18 Graphics Processor Preview

X-Bit Laboratories look at what S3 will be offering in their latest GammeChrome graphics chip.

This chip announced as a mainstream solution boasted pretty advanced technical specifications. In particular, it featured 8 pixel pipelines and supported extended DirectX 9 specifications. Besides that DeltaChrome was the first VPU featuring the programmable Chromotion engine capable of processing video streams in real time. It was possible to create an engine like that due to the implemented pixel shaders 2.0+ support. Since DeltaChrome also boasted pretty low power consumption and also supported YPbPr (HDTV) signal output format, it turned out an excellent solution for multi-functional multimedia PCs, which could also serve as home entertainment systems.
