In the Media

"Cirrus Logic claims it has the graphics accelerator equivalent of the Jaguar XJ220 on its hands. Its new VisualMedia accelerator, "catchily" named the CL-GD5462, can shift a whopping 500Mb of data around every second.

The device is crammed with technology which enables it to handle video and 3D work at jaw-dropping speeds. It numerous features include line and polygon drawing acceleration, hardware zooming, a 64-bit graphics engine and direct conversion from the different colour palettes found in film sequences to those used on PCs."
