Here is a clip to give you a taste of the graphic wonder that lays but a click away ;-) "The graphics market can be extremely rewarding to the leaders, and
punishing to the also-rans. It is not our intention to be in the latter
category," said Tim Chambers, vice president and general manager of ST's
graphics products division in Carrollton, Texas. "We understand the
environment we are entering, and we have no fear."
Chambers said ST will launch the first in a planned family of devices in
April, aimed at the mainstream desktop PC space. A second chip aimed at the
set-top box market will follow in the summer. Initially, the PC version of
the chip will target both system companies and add-in card vendors, Chambers
said. ST hopes to eventually establish its brand name in order to pursue
retail sales of add-in cards under the ST logo. The chip family does not yet
have any official name. "
