VGA Wonder: specs and benchmarks
Summary
ATI started VGA Wonder sales 5 February 1990. This is a desktop graphics card based on a Wonder architecture and made with 800 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamer market. 256 KB of DRAM memory clocked at 0.01 GHz are supplied, and together with 32 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 40 MB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is single-slot card attached via PCI interface.
