Comments on: Intel Demonstrates 3D Tools for XScale

Last week, Intel demonstrated at the Game Developers Conference in London its toolkit to help developers to write 3D games on devices using XScale processors. The Intel Graphics Performance Primitives (Intel GPP) for the PXA250 provides developers with a broad range of 3D graphics functions including data-type conversion, arithmetic, trigonometric, vector, matrix, and raster primitives. This toolkit is designed to overcome limitations in the XScale chip when it comes to 3D modeling. The Intel GPP is free.

 Great!

Nothing else to say, except can't wait for an Xscale processor in a Palm :)

I would assume "date-type conversion" is supposed to be "data-type conversion". I don't know how many times I've typed "data" when I meant "date" and "date" when I meant "data", and spell checkers just do not catch those.

You may very well be correct but I copied and pasted exactly what Intel said about the toolkit:

so, Intel made a mistake too :)

I agree that "date-type conversion" doesn't make much sense in the context of their release. Dates nd 3D have very little to do with each other.

Maybe a good place for the "[sic]?"
