The big news of the first day of COMDEX, well, actually, the day before the first day, came from NVIDIA. In the Harley Davidson Café, home of some good old American iron décor and good old American artery-clogging deep fried food, NVIDIA announced their first mobile product. Called the GeForce2 Go, it is essentially a mobile variant of the highly popular GeForce2 MX.
- GeForce2 Go GPU
- .18 micron process
- 143MHz core clock
- Two pixel pipelines
- One pixel per pipeline per clock
- 286Mpixel fill rate
- Two texels per pixel
- 572Mtexel texel rate
- Hardware transformation and lighting
- 17 million polygons per second max
- HDVP for DVD playback
- Full GeForce2 feature set (Cube environment mapping, 32-bit color, etc.)
The GeForce2 Go heavily leverages the GeForce2 MX design, but is designed for the mobile market. A lower clock speed helps keep the power needs down. Otherwise, the GeForce2 Go is extremely similar to the GeForce2 MX.
