Intense3D Extends Product Line with New Wildcat 4105 and 3510 3D Graphics Accelerators; Industry-Leading Wildcat Performance Available Today At New Price Points.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 29, 1999--

Intense3D(TM) today announced the addition of the Wildcat(TM) 4105 and Wildcat 3510 to the company's product line of high-performance, award-winning Wildcat 3D Graphics accelerators. The two new 3D graphics cards offer even more affordable price points and new performance levels for technical and creative professionals using such applications as digital content creation, MCAD, visual simulation, animation, and scientific visualization. The new Wildcat 4105 offers industry-leading performance with Wildcat geometry-accelerated graphics for the first time under $2000 (U.S.) (expected street price). The Wildcat 3510 offers the industry's most advanced mid-range 3D rendering and texturing graphics engine at end-user price points below $850 (U.S.) (expected street price). With ProCDRS scores of 19.83, the Wildcat 3510 outperforms 3dlabs GVX1 by 40 percent at a similar cost.

Intense3D's Wildcat 4105 is available from Siemens and is being demonstrated today in Siemens' CELSIUS workstation at Intel(R)'s Workstation Leadership Forum, San Francisco, CA. Intergraph Computer Systems is currently offering Intense3D's Wildcat 4105 and 3510 in their TDZ(R) 2000 ViZual Workstation(TM) product line. Wildcat 3D Graphics are now available from more vendors -- Compaq, Dell, Fujitsu, IBM, Intergraph Computer Systems, and Siemens -- than any other professional 3D graphics card. Wildcat's acceptance by the industry-leading workstation vendors reaffirms the revolutionary performance and cost-effectiveness of Wildcat 3D Graphics.

"The extension of the product line continues our commitment to make the highest performing 3D graphics available to a broader range of users," said Bill Rick, vice president of sales and marketing, Intense3D. "Wildcat 3D Graphics will continue to revolutionize the industry, offering advanced features and improved application performance at affordable prices."

Best-In-Class, Mid-range and High-end 3D Graphics Accelerators

The new Wildcat 4105 and Wildcat 3510 deliver real-time on-screen response for the ultimate 3D graphics experience. Advanced features, such as true-color photorealistic output at high resolutions, 32-bit Z-buffer, and support for stereo viewing, in the new Wildcat graphics accelerators improve the sense of realism delivered to creative and technical professionals.

-- Intense3D's Wildcat 4105's on-board 3 GFLOPS geometry accelerator 

and dedicated 64 MB of texture memory boost productivity of

applications using complex datasets. Capable of performing

floating-point intensive transform and lighting up to 15 million

vertices per second, the geometry accelerator offloads the burden

of floating point calculation from the host CPU. The dedicated 64

MB texture memory in the 4105 allows users to apply large texture

maps without impacting performance.

-- Coupled with Intel's Pentium(R) III and Pentium III Xeon(TM)

Streaming SIMD extensions, the Wildcat 3510 provides superlative

price/performance over previous generation mainstream

professional cards for budget-minded users. Wildcat 3510's 16 MB

frame buffer and 16 MB dedicated texture memory offer 68 Mpixel

textured fill rate, ideal for powering mainstream applications.
