THE LEGACY OF THE OBLIVION

Martín Gamero Prieto



 

Time is unstoppable, and its passage inevitably leads to the oblivion of many events and companies that fought a losing battle in a market they didn’t fully understand, or one in which they never truly belonged or could compete.


This book is written to recover their memory and give them the tribute they deserve. It provides insight into all the companies that launched graphics chips. Many quickly moved to more lucrative markets, couldn't adapt, or lacked the resources to survive in the Great Graphics Purge. The book covers more than forty companies, their role in history, their fall or transformation, and what has become of them, as many continue to thrive in other markets.


This is the most comprehensive book on the "B-side" of graphics cards, including sections on the history of OpenGL and DirectX. It offers a complete picture of the industry's greatest change, all captured in a single work.
