TI Raises the Bar on 3-D Graphics Performance with the TVP4010Product Features
The TVP4010 high-performance 3-D graphics processor combines workstation-class 3-D graphics acceleration and state of the art 2-D performance in a single chip. All 3-D rendering operations are accelerated by the TVP4010 including Gouraud shading, depth buffering, texture mapping and alpha blending. Implemented around a scalable memory architecture, the TVP4010 reduces the cost and complexity of delivering high-performance 3-D graphics within a windowing environment making it ideal for a wide range of graphics products from PC boards to workstation accelerators. The device, which utilizes industry-leading PERMEDIA technology, is the first in a line of products that will provide cost-effective, high performance 3D for mainstream consumer and commercial PC applications. The system solution combines the TVP4010 with the TVP3026 RAMDAC. The TVP3026 is a cost-optimized 64-bit RAMDAC that features resolutions up to 1600x1200 with a 75 Hz refresh rates. The TVP4010 delivers 42 Million textured pixels per second and 800K textured polygons per second. It has a 2 Gbyte per second block fill rate, and 120MB per second texture download rate. It also supports 30 frames per second of scaled, filtered video playback.
