    3DLabs "Refocus" PC marketplace

    "3Dlabs® Inc., Ltd. will refocus its 3D graphics business on the portable handheld device market and de-emphasize its professional workstation graphics business.

    3Dlabs will transition from the shrinking professional workstation graphics market to focus on portable handheld devices which require intensive media processing for video, audio and increasingly powerful 3D graphics. This will result in a workforce reduction of approximately 100 3Dlabs employees"

    Yep, another one bites the dust .

    Does that just leave nvidia and ATI in the high-end graphics business these days? I kind of lost track of Matrox and the others over the last couple of years.

      Yes, only ATI FireGL's and Nvidia Quadro's line battling it out for the workstation crown, with Matrox to a much lesser extent competing.

      A shame to see 3DLabs bow out of the highend workstation arena, they did offer great products.

          It's a full-length PCI-Express card: only a problem if your case puts the hard disks right opposite the 16x slot so there's too little room (which many do!).

            The only reason they "refocused" or something was due to their new overlords, Creative.

            I really hope they "refocus" into PC gaming, since Creative is in charge now, and Creative seems pretty gung-ho about putting gaming products out.

            2 Peter 3:3) For YOU know this first, that in the last days there will come ridiculers with their ridicule, proceeding according to their own desires 4) and saying: “Where is this promised presence of his? Why, from the day our forefathers fell asleep [in death], all things are continuing exactly as from creation’s beginning.” 5) For, according to their wish, this fact escapes their notice [...]

            8) However, let this one fact not be escaping YOUR notice, beloved ones, that one day is with Jehovah as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day. 9) Jehovah is not slow respecting his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with YOU because he does not desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance.
            Like 12Bass says, critical thinking and the scientific method are probably the best tools we have to avoid it. (bias)

            However, this method relies on repeatable, falsifiable hypotheses and theories. Only an extremely small spectrum of time and space can be rendered into these, or at least a good approximation of such.
