Computex 2009:微星第一張採用創新未來EAX技術的音效卡



****

在微星Computex 2009的攤位,擺出了一張長得很像音效卡的東西,實際上,它就是音效卡(那不是廢話嗎?),比較特別的是,這張音效卡不但主打遊戲玩家,也主打音響發燒友,一張據說價格落在100到150美金之間。

以下為Annti在會場打瞌睡夢到的,可能與事實有出入:

1.這張音效卡是由一個對聲音非常挑剔的發燒友PM所主導設計,聽說最近剛生了一個可愛的女兒
2.晶片上用膠布貼起來,似乎不想讓其他人知道是什麼晶片,但旁邊焊有記憶體,據說是創新未來(Creative)的音效晶片
3.聽說微星是買晶片進來,但整個佈線是自己設計也自己Lay過,如果第二點成立,算是市面上第一家跟創新未來買晶片來生產音效卡的廠商

At the MSI booth, we spotted a high-end sound card. This one is not only geared towards gamers but also Hi-Fi enthusiasts. The price would probably fall somewhere between 100 to 150 USD. We have some interesting facts about this card:

1. This card is designed by an audiophile who recently has a very cute daughter.
2. It looks like they don't want people to know who made the chip because it is taped up. We heard that it's from Creative.
3. Rumour has it that MSI purchased the chip from Creative but completely re-designed the board. If the above is true, MSI is probably the first company to have used Creative chip on their sound card.
