Vision868, Vision968 - S3's first motion video accelerator (zoom and YUV→RGB conversion) S3 Trio 32, 64, 64V+, 64V2 (1995) - S3's first integrated (RAMDAC+VGA) accelerator. The 64-bit versions were S3's most successful product range. ViRGE (no suffix), VX, DX, GX, GX2, Trio3D, Trio3D/2X - S3's first Windows 3D-accelerators. Notoriously poor 3D. Sold well to OEMs mainly because of low price and excellent 2D-performance. Savage 3D (1998), 4 (1999), 2000 (2000) - S3's first recognizably modern 3D hardware implementation. Poor yields meant actual clock speeds were 30% below expectations, and buggy drivers caused further problems. S3 Texture Compression went on to become an industry standard, and the Savage3D's DVD acceleration was market leading at introduction. Savage2000 was announced as the first chip with integrated Transformation and Lighting (S3TL) co-processor. Aurora64V+, S3 ViRGE/MX, SuperSavage, SavageXP - Mobile chipsets ProSavage, Twister, UniChrome, Chrome 9 - Integrated implementations of Savage chipset for VIA motherboards GammaChrome, DeltaChrome, Chrome 20 series, Chrome 440 series, Chrome 500 series - Discrete cards post acquisition by VIA. S3 GenDAC, SDAC - VGA RAMDAC with high/true-color bypass (SDAC had integrated PLLs, dot-clocks, and hardware Windows cursor) Media chipsets Sonic/AD sound chipset - A programmable, sigma-delta audio DAC, featuring an integrated PLL, stereo 16-bit analogue output SonicVibes - PCI Audio Accelerator Scenic/MX2 - MPEG Decoder References External links S3.com products cached from 1997 VIA Graphics Firingsquad: S3: From Virge to Savage 2000 Xbitlabs: The Return of S3: DeltaChrome Graphics Card Review Techreport: A look at S3's DeltaChrome The Inquirer: S3's DirectX 10 Roadmap Companies based in Fremont, California Companies established in 1989 Semiconductor companies of the United States Fabless semiconductor companies Graphics hardware companies Defunct computer companies of the United States Defunct computer hardware companies
