Golem: News from the Bitboys - XBA about to outplay GeForce3
»Extreme bandwith due to embedded DRAM within the graphics chip
Since 1998 the Finnish graphics chip manufactures Bitboys are working on
their Xtreme Bandwith Architecture (XBA), a memory architecture embedding
fast eDRAM directly into the graphics chip and thus is said to offer
noticeable higher bandwith than GeForce3 and similar. Now the Finns have
released some new information: Their upcoming "wonder graphics chip" now will
have integrated 12 MB instead of 9 MB eDRAM and additionally will be capable
to address up to 64 MB external SDRAM.
