Does anybody know, whether and in how far AMD has actually followed through on the promise
that "more documentation (and 3D specifications)" were to be released "shortly"? It seems to
me that they'd have staged a big press conference for the occasion. So, because nothing of
that sort has ocurred I'm left with the impression that this promise was worth about the same
as the ones they made 1999.

AMD releasing 3D specs - not yet

You can read about second dump here. Looks like they were too optimistic. They have published more info and they do have right person dedicated to the task, but no, 3D acceleration is not there yet...
