5.1 Introduction
The Intel 815 GMCH includes a highly integrated graphics
accelerator. Its architecture consists of dedicated multi-media
engines executing in paralle to deliver high performance 3D,
2D, and motion compensation video capabilities. The 3D and
2D engines are managed by a 3D/2D pipeline preprocessor
allowing a sustained flow of graphics data to be rendered and
displayed. The deeply pipelined 3D accelerator engine
provides 3D quality graphics and performance via per-pixel 3D
renderign and parallel data paths which allow each pipeline
stage to simultaneously operate on different primitives or
portions of the same primitive. The Intel 815 GMCH graphics
accelerator engine supports perspective-correct texture
mapping, trilinear and anisotropic Mip-Map filtering, Gouraund
shading, alpha-blending, fogging and Z-buffering. A rich set of
3D instructions permits these features to be independently
enabled or disabled.
