ATI: Quake on your Cell Phone

Ever want to play quake on a cell phone? If an OEM picks up ATI's design, we might just be able to do so. Here's a shot of their hardware running MotoGP.

The ATI Imageon 2300 drives the 3D graphics acceleration on the cell phone platform pictured above, running MotoGP in OpenGL ES mode at around 25 fps. What is even more impressive is that the same hardware can run GLQuake I at around 35 - 40 fps; if you remember back to the days of GLQuake, 35 - 40 fps is about the speed that a Voodoo1 would have given you at 640x480.

The person delivering the Quake demo was held up in airport security and could not get the unit here in time for us to provide a picture for you all, but multiple ATI sources confirmed the impressiveness of the demo.

    I don't know why, but I feel so absolutely elated to see the digicam with the OLED screen.

    That's one thin notebook there by Sharp. The only thing that makes it look less in my eyes is the cpu it uses. It would have been better I would say to go with one of thoes VIA low energy cpus.

    Great just what we need, more people screwing around with Cell Phones/PDA’s while waiting in line. And people though Cell phones are bad now, just wait. I can see it now. Car crash kill a bus load of Nuns because some jerk was playing Quake 3 while driving INSTEAD of driving.
