Matrox Silently Developing GPU Parhelia?

Published by

Several websites including MatroxUsers and 3DSpeed.org suggest and call upon unconfirmed information that Matrox Graphics Inc. is working on a GPU code-named Parhelia. Rumour has it that the GPU in question will already be DirectX 9 compliant and will feature a 256bit memory bus resulting in 19.2GB/s bandwidth. Other than that it is said to be clocked at 300/300Mhz core/memory and be equpped with 4 pixel and vertex shader pipelines. Matrox was not available for comment. Furthermore Matrox Graphics Inc. will not take part in CeBIT 2002 held this month in Hannover, Germany.
