(TSX: ATY, NASDAQ: ATYT). Introduced today, these new co-processors enable game developers to go beyond simplistic game design approaches and give users complete freedom of movement, and visually rich 3D gaming experiences. <br /><br />With IMAGEON 2300, ATI has taken its years of 3D gaming expertise – whether it is for the PC, notebook or console – and applied its world leading technology to the cell phone marketplace. The “tour-de-force” was to integrate a full fledged, no compromise hardware 3D engine in a cost effective and power efficient multimedia companion chip for the new generations of feature phones."<br /><br />Combined with some of the things announced for the future Windows Mobile platform (such as Direct 3D and support for high resolution displays), there is good reason to be excited about this news.
