News - ATI talks Rev graphics chip // Wii /// Eurogamer (501 words) |
 | As those who are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Revolution may know, technology giant ATI is currently hard at work developing the graphics chip that will power the new machine - and now they've gone on record to tell us a little bit more about it. |
| In a recent interview with RevolutionReport.com, ATI's John Swiminer confirmed that the Revolution chip, currently titled Hollywood, will not be based on current or forthcoming PC architecture - but he didn't say whether it is instead based on Flipper, the chip used in the GameCube. |
| Even when the Flipper chips came out, people were asking that question: "Is this a spin-off of something done on the PC?", and the answer is no," Swiminer stated. |

Graphics - encyclopedia article about Graphics. (3466 words) |
| In computer graphics there are two types of graphics: Raster, where each pixel is separately defined, and Vector, where mathematical formula are used to draw lines (eg 'take two points and draw a parabole between them'), which are then interpreted at the 'receiving end' to produce the graphic. |
| In computing, graphics are used as an interface for the user; and graphics is one of the five key elements of multimedia technology. |
| Graphics are heavily used in education in textbooks for subjects such as geography, science and math to illustrate theories and concepts. |
