S3 Announces 36 Customers for Its Savage4 Chip

S3 Announces 36 Customers for Its Savage4 Chip hits the March 1999 news desk on March 9, 1999. S3 says it has secured 36 customers for its new Savage4 chip.

Estimated at more than $150 million in revenue, this new business comes from major PC OEM, motherboard and add-in-card customers in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Japan. In addition to this $150 million revenue stream, the company anticipates revenue from older S3 products and from additional Savage4 design wins expected throughout the year. That is the PC hardware treadmill in full sprint: faster chips, cheaper boards, louder claims, and gamers trying to figure out what is worth the money.
