The VIA K8M800 chipset leverages on the features available in the earlier K8T800 and brings 64-bit computing into the mainstream with integrated graphics. At the heart of the North Bridge, the graphics core is powered by S3 Graphics' UniChrome Pro. The IGP is a 128-bit graphics engine with a dual pixel pipeline and is clocked at 200MHz. Being an integrated graphics solution, it supports a shared memory frame buffer of up to 64MB. The UniChrome Pro can deliver up to 4.5 million triangles per second and has a fill rate of up to 400 million texels/sec. Not really impressive considering even entry-level discrete graphics cards today are capable of reaching a billion texels/sec fill rate. This comes as no surprise though, and users should already be familiar with the extreme limitations of most IGP's 3D performance.
