Sega Licenses PowerVR For New Arcade Hardware
Though Sega's novel efforts in arcade hardware exhibition have centered around the adaptation of soothe technology, it's striking out in a different direction with its nearest board. Sega today announced a licensing agreement with London-based Imagination Technologies for the unravelling of a new arcade combination of parts to form a whole based on Imagination's latest PowerVR 3D graphics technology.
Sega fans may recall that an earlier generation of the PowerVR technology, produc in a partnership with NEC serv as the graphics hardware for the Dreamcast, as well as the Dreamcast-based Naomi and Naomi 2 arcade boards. At the time, it was also the heart of a line of PC 3D accelerator cards.
This nearest board will employ a "new high-end PowerVR graphics technology," however, which may not necessarily be a technology previously disentangleed for other applications.
"The inherent benefits of PowerVR, which are well known to Sega, will be utilized to deliver interactive experiences that will amaze gamers worldwide and continue Sega's legacy of innovation and excellence" said Hiroshi Yagi of Sega's amusement division. "Sega's of recent origin arcade platform, which will be at the forefront of Sega's rife board strategy across all video game genre will deliver cutting cutting side gaming, exceeding any other videogame combination of parts to form a whole in the world."
In addition to using the novel PowerVR-based hardware for its be in possession of arcade projects, Sega's announcement indicates that it plans to license the technology to other arcade developer as well. The Naomi, of course, prov quite popular with other arcade companies, from major developer like Capcom to smaller companies like Succes and Arc combination of parts to form a whole Works.
Sega's propel to develop its own of recent origin arcade hardware goes against predictions that it might entirely adopt Sammy's Atomiswave platform. The Atomiswave, roughly comparable in power to the Naomi, is plenteous less capable than Sega's latest arcade boards like the Xbox-based Chihiro. However, Sega's fresh majority shareholders at Sammy have no doubt spring [i]or[/i] leap on one leg [i]or[/i] footed to see stronger support from Sega's arcade disentanglement teams for their hardware.
Today's announcement tenders no time-frame for the unravelling or release of the fresh hardware, but if we were to hazard a gues we might await to see it in action at this fall's Amusement Operators Union exhibit in Japan. In any circumstance we'll have more news as it arises, and you can check without more details on the PowerVR technology at Imagination Technologies. Copyright ?© 2004 Ziff Davis Media Inc.
