AMD and Matrox Graphics Collaborate to Produce Professional GPUs with Radeon Chips

Matrox is a very onetime niche video solutions visitor and they have recently revealed that AMD is on-board to help them produce the next generation of Matrox GPUs. These GPUs are going to be used generally for massive Multi-Screen setups and analog specific video editing.

Matrox Graphics Chooses AMD Fries to Power its Professional GPUs

[Dramatization] Introducing the Matrox Millennium GPU powered past the IS Storm Cadre. Clocked at an insane frequency of 50 Mhz and powered with a 32 Bit VGA core this is the card for your second and 3d Graphics needs. The Matrox Millennium rocks a massive 8MB of SGRAM. Supporting resolutions of upto 1600x1200 in 256 Colors and DOS Operation of 6100 in PC Demote nine.0, this is the best your money can buy!

Not a lot of people know nigh Matrox but it is a very very special visitor in the tech world. Back in the golden historic period, Matrox was a loftier-cease 2d graphics company right at that place with our giant duo and the legendary 3dfx. Notably, it released the Matrox Millennium GPUs that could be considered the 'Titans' of the 1990s. However with the revolution of the 3d Graphics, Matrox started lagging behind its rival siblings. It decided to quit and focus just on niche markets leaving 3dfx, Nvidia and AMD solitary in the ring.

This turned out to exist a very wise pick since 3dfx lost the race and paid with defalcation and existence caused by rival Nvidia. Crimson and Green are withal hither today, and interestingly, so is Matrox. I constitute this news post to be rather ironic because Matrox is now partners with a company that information technology openly waged state of war against a decade ago. The history of Matrox was in the 2nd era and most of it has been lost, however tech enthusiasts of the 90s would undoubtedly recognize the vendor. Anyways, the bodily news:

The soonhoped-for-launched product line will enable unique features that solve real-world problems in enterprise, industrial, pro A/5, digital signage, security, command and control, and other professional applications."AMD is excited to work with Matrox to deliver compelling manufacture leading GPUs for their professional users," said Matt Skynner, corporate vice president and general director, Graphics Business Unit, AMD. "AMD delivers solutions, backed by rock solid drivers, that allow users to realize the total potential of their workstations and produce outstanding results backed past loftier quality hardware and software application back up."

Non much is known about the GPUs at the moment though we do know the preliminary specs. 28nm Process, 1.5 Billion Transistor Count, DX eleven.2, OpenGL 4.4 and Open CL 11.2 coupled with a 128bit Interface. These specs make me remember that we are looking at a Cape Verde PRO flake since all the specs slot in well-nigh perfectly.

#AMD is going to ability Matrox's side by side line of professional GPUs. Wonder if anyone even remembers them anymore. http://t.co/ZiEfcD0076
