14 DAY TRIAL // S3 launched the Chrome 20 series that combines Fujitsu Limited 90nm process technology with S3's Power Wise architecture. The Chrome S20 series feature Hi-Def visual experience, completing the 1080p HDTV support and widescreen display capability with Chromotion 3.0 technology.
The Chrome S20 series offers a high speed DirectX 9.0 graphics engine and natively supports the high bandwidth PCI Express. S3's Chromotion 3.0 is the center of Chrome 20 series Hi-Def media capabilities that provide acceleration for video standards, video scaling for the widescreen digital media and programmable creative and artistic effects. The Chrome S27 is compatible with Microsoft's Media Center Edition.
Two new technologies are introduced with the Chrome S20 series. One is MultiChrome - an open-platform and cable free multi-graphics acceleration technology. MultiChrome will enable two or more Chrome S27 cards or GPUs to operate together to provide additional game acceleration on any motherboard with suitable PCIe slots, and is completely open. The other is AcceleRAM, which enables high memory performance while leveraging the lower cost structure of reduced on-board memory. AcceleRAM allows Chrome S25 to operate with 32-bit or 64-bit wide memory interfaces with local frame buffers consisting of just one or more memory chips.
