Full Line-up of Native PCI Express Workstation Graphics Accelerators Bring Significant Performance Improvements to Users

Tuesday June 01, 2004

MARKHAM, Ontario - On the eve of the major industry transition to PCI Express™, ATI Technologies Inc. (TSX: ATY, NASDAQ: ATYT) today announces a complete line-up of FireGL™ workstation graphics accelerators with full native support for this new bus architecture. The newly branded Visualization series will offer four new graphics accelerators; the high-end FireGL V7100™, mid-range FireGL V5100™, and redefining the entry-level segment, the FireGL V3200™ and the FireGL V3100™. Having worked closely with Intel to implement native PCI Express architecture, these new high-performance workstation graphics accelerators bring significant bandwidth and feature improvements to the FireGL family.

"The new Visualization Series of FireGL workstation graphics accelerators have implemented native PCI Express capabilities while increasing the feature set available," said Dinesh Sharma, Director, Workstation Products, ATI. "Not only can users benefit from the increased bandwidth of the new bus with simultaneous upstream and downstream traffic, but features such as stereo 3D, dual link, and increased vertex processors and pixel pipelines will result in significant performance benefits to workstation customers."
