When S3 Graphics releases a new GPU you can bet your bottom dollar that their biggest support will be parent-company VIA. A lot of S3 products actually wind up being cross-purposed for use in the graphics cores found embedded in VIA chipsets, but the company does still release discrete S3 Graphics branded processors as well.
The S3 Graphics 5400E is being unvieled in China this week at the Electronic Manufacturer Exposition. It's being positioned as a chip which the embedded market can use for medical, scientific and other uses.
The 5400E has a native OpenCL engine, OpenCL being a cross-platform open standard. "Native support of OpenCL with the industry’s best GFLOPS per watt rating including a DirectX® 10.1 / OpenGL 3.1 graphics engine, ChromotionHD video core for HD video decode including Blu-ray, H.264, and VC-1, a video encode engine, and OpenVG 1.1 engine in the 5400E creates the most versatile GPU for embedded applications requiring longevity, customization, performance, features, and low power."
I can't give you a link to the Press Release. I was sent a copy by mail but S3 don't have it on their website yet!
