Nintendo Gets Compression Program from S3 Graphics
http://goo.gl/cGpd
S3 Graphics announced today that it has signed a new agreement with Nintendo.
This new deal will allow Nintendo access to the S3 Texture Compression
technology that can achieve six-fold compression thereby reducing memory
bandwidth and expanding the amount of texture imagery for the onboard
graphics memory.
"This agreement furthers our dedication to providing our game developers with
leading compression technology to enable them to deliver the best possible
gaming experience," said Mr. Genyo Takeda, General Manager of Nintendo's
Integrated Research and Development Division. "We look forward to continuing
our licensing arrangement with S3 Graphics."
"We are extremely pleased that Nintendo has chosen to use the S3TC
compression technology in its world renowned gaming platforms," said Dr. Ken
Weng, General Manager of S3 Graphics. "The license agreement reaffirms S3
Graphics' S3TC texture compression technology as the industry standard for
both PC and game console graphics."

这也算另类的台湾之光吧,
曾经风光 PC 市占一时的显卡大厂 S3 Graphics 早已纳入 VIA 旗下已久,
不过 S3TC 这项图形材质压缩技术也早行之有年,不知道老任这次要运用在哪台主机上?
透过 S3TC 压缩技术可达成压缩比 4:1 ～ 6:1 的程度,不过由於是失真性压缩,
所以材质当然多少会比未压缩前有些许失真,但成像品质多少还是在可接受范围里就是 :)
