3dfx to return after 20 years with a 'big announcement' ?

3dfx Interactive, the former GPU maker, announced via its a Twitter account mentions that it will return to the market after 20-years, at least a big announcement is to be expected.

The manufacturer of the iconic Voodoo graphics cards was declared bankrupt in October 2002, Nvidia acquired nearly all patents and the Voodoo trademarks in 2000. It's unclear how the firm intends to return, although it's possible that it wants to create devices leveraging Arm's GPU methods.

It is conceivable that the Twitter account is not legitimate and is only a prank. Nonetheless, the tweet promises an announcement for next Thursday.

Unfortunately, the firm no longer has a website, so we can only relay this tweet. Disclaimers enough right?

I dont think they can enter anything. Nvidia owns them.

So what possibilities are left then? I can't think of anything very exciting anyway.

Well, considering they wrote "an major" I think it's fair to assume it's just a troll.
