SAPPHIRE FIRST WITH HDMI ON LATEST GRAPHICS ARCHITECTURE

CeBit debut for new product available in April



Leading graphics supplier Sapphire Technology has just confirmed it will be
the first company to offer HDMI compatible versions in its latest series of
graphics accelerators to be previewed at CeBit 2006. The Sapphire Radeon
X1600Pro HDMI card is scheduled for availability in April and will deliver
both audio and video to HDMI compliant displays and televisions.



The X1600 series has been designed to deliver high efficiency, high
performance in Shader Model 3.0 and enhanced image quality. The architecture
also supports AvivoTM delivering vibrant high fidelity images and video
playback to the latest High Definition (HD) video standards. The new HDMI
version is a low profile PCI Express card which supports HDCP and delivers
exciting new levels of display performance and quality over this new
industry standard connection interface. Two versions provide for either an
external SPDIF or internal cable to be connected so that the audio signal is
delivered over the HDMI cable.



The Sapphire RADEON X1600Pro with its 12 Pixel pipelines provides the
highest graphics performance in its class even for shader intensive gaming.
Equipped with 128MB of GDDR3 memory, this model features clock speeds of
500MHz (core) and 800MHz (memory).



Retail versions of these new Sapphire graphics accelerators will ship with
multimedia software including PowerDVD and Sapphire Select, the exciting new
way to deliver a choice of games to the end user. Each card is bundled with
a DVD containing a selection of top games from several leading software
houses. The end customer can play each of the games for a one hour trial
before choosing which titles he or she wants to keep and using the
activation codes for those titles.



Sapphire's RADEON X1000 series now delivers the best graphics and video
performance in the industry. For more details please visit
