Xbitlabs ha pubblicato la roadmap di 3dfx per il prossimo anno; queste informazioni rimangono decisamente interessanti nonostante gli avvenimenti degli ultimi giorni: nVidia ha annunciato che non utilizzerà nessuno dei futuri chip che 3dfx avrebbe dovuto commercializzare il prossimo anno ma questo non toglie che la tecnologia alla base di tali prodotti potrebbe essere utilizzata da nVidia per nuovi progetti:
- Daytona (VSA-101, we have already mentioned this chip in our news this month). The chip was supposed to be manufactured with 0.18 micron technology and was expected to work at 200MHz. As for the memory, there were to be 8-64MB. The chip had to support AGP 4x and to have 2 rendering pipelines. The chip was expected to start shipping in the end of 2000.
- Rampage Rev.A. This chip had to be made with 0.25 micron manufacturing technology and was supposed to work at 200MHz core frequency. There should have been 32MB of memory, AGP 4x support and 4 rendering pipelines. The launching was scheduled for Q1 2001.
- Rampage Rev.B. This chip version was planned to be manufactured with 0.18 micron technology. The core frequency had to equal 225MHz. All the other specs had to be the same: AGP 4x, 32MB memory and 4 rendering pipelines. The chip was expected to come out in Q2 2001.
- Rampage SLI. It was supposed to support 2-, 4- and 8-chip configurations. The chips were to work at 200MHz core frequency. There should have been from 32MB up to 512MB of memory. Naturally, the chips were to support AGP 4x. The manufacturing was scheduled for H1 2001.
- Sage. This chip was to support AGP 4x and a number of unique technologies including 2-Sided Lighting, Higher Order Surface and Geometry Compression. The chip was to see the world in H2 2001.
