Creative Labs announced numerous products related to consumer’s electronics at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week, but one of them attracted our attention the most. Maybe you remember that in September 2002 a Creative Labs representative told in an interview that the company had no plans to introduce any consumer’s products based on the P10 graphics processor developed by 3Dlabs (see this news-story). Despite of the earlier statement, at CES 2003 Creative Technology introduced their Graphics Blaster Picture Perfect graphics card.
Unfortunately, there is almost no information about this product at this time. Creative Labs says that the graphics card is “designed to enhance the experience of working with digital images by offloading portions of the image processing from the CPU to the VPU”, so it is not quite clear what the device is intended for: to play 3D-games or to work with photographs and so on. <%BANNER[article]%>
Creative Labs also did not indicate the approximate retail price of the graphics card and availability timeframe of the babe.
