OVERVIEW
Based on the CL-GD5462, the CL-GD5464 incorpo-
rates a 3D module, PCI bus mastering, and a newer,
230-MHz DAC. The CL-GD5464 offers very cost-
effective hardware acceleration for the latest gener-
ation of 3D games that rely heavily on texture map-
ping to achieve a dramatic experience for the end
user. The rendering performance is tuned to
Microsoft’s Direct3D game API. The CL-GD5464 is
also compatible with many other 3D game APIs on
the market.
The CL-GD5464 operates as a PCI bus master for
maximum system throughput. Use of the PCI bus
master reduces the system cost by optionally storing
texture maps, Z-buffer, and display list instructions
for 3D operation in system memory.
The CL-GD5465 also supports Intel’s AGP (acceler-
ated graphics port) for higher bandwidth between
the system memory and the graphics subsystem.
Both the CL-GD5462 and CL-GD5464 are one-
channel devices with bandwidth up to 600 Mbytes
per second. While maintaining the same pin layout,
future Laguna family members will use two Rambus
channels to increase the bandwidth to 1.2 Gbytes
per second.
