KYRO2 Due in March? [02/05/2001 10:57 PM]
by Anna Filatova
STMicroelectronics plans to make another attempt to conquer the graphics market in March. According to one Japanese site, the company is expected to introduce its new STG5000 graphics chip with PowerVR Series 4 architecture at CEBIT in late March. This accelerator will be another product in KYRO family that is not a success so far. Nevertheless, the expected specifications of STG5000 (or KYRO2, if you like) are promising enough:
  • 0.18 micron manufacturing technology;
  • 4 rendering pipelines;
  • Hardware T&L unit (20-25mln polygons per second);
  • DDR SDRAM support;
  • Theoretical fillrate (the tile architecture with an overdraw equal to 3) is circa 1.8 gigapixels per second;
  • 166MHz core frequency;
  • 4.5W heat dissipation.
Like all the other graphics chips manufacturers, STM will announce its new Low-End solution, STG5005, which is intended for value PCs. Well, let’s hope that KYRO2 will prove more successful than its predecessor, especially since the tile architecture becomes more and more popular among the hardware developers.
