You can stir-fry stuff in seconds on my current graphics card.

Will they release source code(or at least some specs) so the drivers could be made to work with Alternative Operating Systems (Linux, BSD, et all)???

But will the drives suck as badly as they did back in the day when S3 was a real contendor in the video game market?

Is it just me or is this "Performance per watt" being said for almost every product these days... It seens to be the "in" thing these days.

My toaster has a superiour performance to watt than yours. Of course it cant really toast worth a damn.

Yet another vague propaganda only press release. All they talk about is performance increases, which I add are unsubstantiated in that document, relative to previous S3 generations. Now, I don't know about any one else, but I've not seen S3 designs that were viable save for very low end desktops in years. So are they saying they are improving on junk with more junk, or will they be a viable player on the low power/fairly performing systems?

Maybe it means an agreement for graphics on the Sparc servers/ workstations by Fujitsu.
