For those of you that like to dot your i's and cross your t's, here's a list of features to keep you mulling over the next few months. Clearly the jury is still out until hardware is available and partners are found but nonetheless Glaze 3D looks good 'on paper'.

Enourmous 12 GB/s memory bandwidth

Embedded full framebuffer

Proven, scalable rendering architecture

Frame- and depth buffer accessable at all times

2D and 3D acceleration, a single chip solution

True color rendering pipeline

True color framebuffer

True color textures

Trilinear mip-mapping

Environment bump mapping

Resolutions up-to 2048x1536

Full-screen order-independent anti-aliasing

High-quality 4:1 Texture compression

Four simultaneous trilinearly filtered textures in a single pass

Full 4X AGP support, including direct AGP texturing

Accumulation buffer effects like anti-aliasing and depth-of-field

Multiple scaled video outputs

Digital flat-panel support

GDI+ compatible

Tear-free rendering

sRGB color matching support

1200/2400 million texels/s

600/1200 MPIX Gouraud shaded, no texture

600/1200 MPIX single texture, trilinear mip-mapping

600/1200 MPIX dual texture, bilinear filtering
