B.Ob. Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 NVIDIA Editors Day: Soundstorm "In an exclusive press briefing - the CEO of NVIDIA has just stated that we will see Soundstorm avaliable on nForce soon. This will be more than the old hat Soundstorm which was on nForce 1 and 2. NVIDIAs CEO was slightly cryptic about it being delivered, however, I think we can make an assumption that maybe the PCI-E bus has enough to deliver it as a standalone product. Here are those precious words: "We're gonna build SoundStorm 2, it's gonna be awesome," he later added to that with more information about how it will be delivered "It come in a way that you won't expect." NVIDIA chose not to do this with nForce 4 - but he for one acknowledges that the market wants it. This is a great proof of consumer power and that NVIDIA do listen to the consumer. It was apparent that that Jen Hsun is excited about this audio solution. More on the new Soundstorm implementation as and when we get it." AND "We have reason to believe that the new Soundstorm will be delivered through the PS3 as a primary chip for audio - this could then migrate to an addin card on a PCI-E bus from NVIDIA. All of the rumours of the soundstorm team being disbanded may well be true, but the team has been rebuilt and they are working on it as we speak."

ellilion Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Oh Yeah, can't wait!! I think the way they are gonna deliver is making a sound card not building it on-board because they can make more money that way. Which doesn't matter to me as long as they make it.

B.Ob. Posted December 12, 2004 Author Share Posted December 12, 2004 Reading speculation elsewhere, makes me wonder if SoundStorm will show up on the PS3..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
