NVIDIA Enters Mobile Market with GoForce 4500

Posted at September 22, 2004 01:00 AM in Devices & Carriers .
The unique features of the GoForce 3D 4500 WMP include:

-- Specifically designed for handsets, the GoForce 3D 4500 features
geometry processing for arcade-quality 3D acceleration and gaming
-- Programmable shaders, bilinear and trilinear texture filtering, texture
compression, support for six simultaneous textures, and a 40-bit color
pipeline for high-resolution detailed images
-- Revolutionary new NVIDIA nPower technology for better battery life
allowing for longer talk time
-- Support for MPEG-4 and H.263 formats for VHS-quality recording and
playback
-- A 3.0 megapixel JPEG codec, for capturing and viewing sharp,
crystal-clear photos

It might be noted that some of the features, specifically the image capture and video codecs, are a step backwards from some of the high end network chips available. The 3D is all quite impressive, though, and will be welcome to game developers everywhere.
