i740: specs and benchmarks
Summary
Intel started i740 sales 1 February 1998. This is a desktop graphics card based on an i740 architecture and made with 150 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamer market. 4 MB of SDR memory clocked at 0.1 GHz are supplied, and together with 64 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 800.0 MB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is a single-slot graphics card attached via AGP 2x interface.
