"MILPITAS, CA – October 22, 2002 — 3Dlabs®, Inc. Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Creative Technology Ltd. (NASDAQ:CREAF), today introduced two new Wildcat4 products into its high- and ultra high-end Wildcat® professional graphics accelerator line to increase the performance and visual quality of AGP 8x-based workstations. The new Wildcat4™ 7210 and Wildcat4 7110 graphics accelerators, available next month from leading OEM systems manufacturers, deliver up to 32 percent higher graphics performance than any other currently shipping card used for high-end CAD and DCC, advanced video compositing, and HDTV editing.

“Design professionals working in graphics-intensive environments can step-up to the Wildcat4 and get the same great features and quality of the Wildcat III, but with impressive increases in performance and AGP 8x interface support,” said Jerry Peterson, executive vice president and general manager of 3Dlabs workstation division. “The increased bandwidth of the AGP 8x bus coupled with Wildcat4 will significantly enhance 3D visualization on the desktop. It doesn’t get any better or faster than this.”

Wildcat4 technology takes complete advantage of the new AGP 8x interface standard, transferring 2GB of graphics information per second between the graphics card and system. The Wildcat4 architecture also combines geometry and raster engines into a single, high-performance, high-bandwidth, integrated processor for today’s best professional graphics performance on the desktop.

The Wildcat4 graphics products are available next month in leading systems running Microsoft® Windows® 2000 and Windows™ XP. Both cards feature custom drivers for AutoCAD and 3ds max™. 3Dlabs also plans to introduce its own 3D-optimized Linux® drivers for the Wildcat4 family..."
