OK, so we've looked at AMD's Imageon 3D chip for cellphones before; that headline pun, alas, demanded life. The chipmaker did have the thing on show this week at CTIA, however, giving the world its first look at mockup phones carrying the low-power gaming GPU.
Larger than normal phones and, apparently, having a "prototype look to them," the Imageon 238X was shown running a smooth-looking demo of Sudeki, an Xbox game, on a handset with a 320x240 screen. This reminds me of my 1996 Quake days. Imageon can also decode DVD-quality video and sends whatever it's doing to a picture-in-picture box when a call comes in. Sudeki at 80x60? Good luck!
