3dfx Changing Strategy
by Maarten Goldstein, Sep 01, 2000 10:02am PDTAfter yesterday's q&a on the future of 3dfx, Evil Avatar asked further about the OEM changes. Here is what Brian Burke of 3dfx had to say
Old model: Make chip, put it on board, sell boardSo 3dfx is going back to the old (successful) days of selling just their chips (besides their own fully manufactured products). Seems like a good timing at least, as long as they can get their products out, such as the Vooodoo 5 6000 which should ship some time this fall.
New model: Make core, put it in chip, put it on board, sell board AND
Sell chip to OEM or motherboard maker AND
Sell core to other companies that need 3D

What do you mean you already have a good chipset and card?
But, but, we're 3dFX, FX. Do you see the FX?..."
