Intel Buys Finnish Graphics IP Developer Siru Innovations
Intel has announced that it has bought 11 year old, veteran Finnish graphics IP developer Siru Innovations. You'd be forgiven if you've never heard about the company, but it has pedigree harking back to the late 1980's and early 1990's, as at least one of its founders was part of the legendary demogroup Future Crew that made some of the most impressive graphics and audio demo software during the BBS era. All three founders were at Bitboys when it was founded in the 1990's and if you haven't heard about Bitboys, you might simply not be old enough. The company was hyped for its Glaze3D graphics architecture that never actually launched, due to the fact that Infineon stopped manufacturing a very specific type of embedded memory that the GPUs were based on.Bitboys was later acquired by ATI, who in turn of course was taken over by AMD.
