Axe Graphics Processor

News from the BitBoys
Axe graphics processor is designed for the volume desktop PC market. It supports full OpenGL 1.3 and Microsoft DirectX 8.1 feature set with MatrixAA anti-aliasing. Axe builds on Bitboys patented XBA technology, and a complete prototype chip has been manufactured by Infineon Technologies on their 0.17 micron embedded DRAM process. As Infineon has closed down its embedded DRAM fabrication line, Bitboys will not bring Axe to the PC desktop market. The processor contains over 6 million logic gates and 12M bytes of embedded DRAM memory, working together with external SDRAM memory (up-to 128M bytes). The memory is connected to the graphics engine via a multi-channel memory management unit that provides the extreme bandwidth required by the core pixel processor.
