Dreamcast Turns 10 years old!

Just think, the GPU from that machine (or a close relative) is now sitting in the iPhone

As well as in 50% of the World's PCs, as Intel licenced the technology from PowerVR.

Mine must be in the other 50%. nVidia G200 all the way

Yeah, I think it's been about 2 years since I posted on here :eek:

Thought it was about time to start annoying other people again :rant:

Blimey. Good to see you again! You might have some post count catching up to do

@Vincent,

Well, the forum is now also an RPG. You have experience points and level up. What more excuse do you need to post?

[Karlos]

It's certainly not the same GPU. Yes it's the same company, but that's hardly surprising as PowerVR have now concentrated on the portable market. The PowerVR MBX is used in many phones, including a whole range of Nokia phones, along with some from Sony Ericson, Motorola and Palm. PowerVR GPUs in general have been used in a vast range of products (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerVR ).

Oh right. For some reason I thought the 3D accelerator used in the iPhone was a descendant of the PowerVR *shrug*

I did kinda notice that but couldn't be arsed to figure out what it all meant.

I know I'm level 72 though so that's not too bad... I think...

Well you were away for quite a while
