Creative announced their latest sound chip, the X-Fi Extreme Fidelity Audio Processor. The company says it will improve the sound of all your MP3s and CDs using the new chip that is 24Xs more powerful than its predecessor. Let's all take this with a grain a salt as Creative isn't known for living up to its marketing hype and generally their technology innovation has been severely lacking. Intel, kill Creative please with your HD audio.The Creative X-Fi Xtreme Fidelity audio processor has more than 51 million transistors, and is capable of 10,000+ MIPS. The Creative X-Fi Xtreme Fidelity audio processor is 24 times more powerful than its predecessor, and is designed with multiple engines, so it can dynamically direct resources through a modular architecture to completely change the way audio is managed for any application. The Creative X-Fi Xtreme Fidelity audio processor provides key modes that are optimized for experiences with MP3 music, gaming, movies and audio creation.
