King of the reference boards[edit]

A great many videocards with Trident Microsystems graphics boards were assembled using reference kits purchased from Trident. All these boards had Trident's FCC ID numbers. The process of selling incomplete parts kits to assemblers allowed Trident to claim they were not a videocard manufacturer. A 'manufacturer' would buy the bare PCB, Trident videochip and any other proprietary parts from Trident, then source the standard components from other companies.

If you find a videocard with a Trident chip that does not have a Trident FCC ID number, it's an uncommon find!

Sound chips[edit]

Trident also produced AC'97 sound chips. Anyone knows more about it? --87.122.21.251 22:55, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

AfD[edit]

Stop putting AfD template UnitedStatesian just because you don't understand anything about compuers. Trident Microsystems itself has rough equivalency to SiS (just not in the same industry). source. --Ramu50 (talk) 16:46, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it was a PROD template, but who's counting? I may not undertand anything about computers, but I do understand a lot about sources, and I know this article has none whatsoever, let alone any that have the significant coverage required by the notability guideline for corporations.

Source 2. The indication of 177 million revenue proves the notability that it is not just another small eBuisness companies who provide only 1 or 2 services of mobile devices or a simplistic application developement company. It also qualifies as a NASDQ stock market and can qualify as an Fortune 1000 (Global) if revenue continues to increase. Trident Microsystems is similar to Elpida, Hynix, Nanya, Qimonda (supplier of RAM), very well known to RAM industry but not well known in the general society due to the amount of technical knowledge. Trident Microsystems is a well known suppliers in DTVs. --Ramu50 (talk) 19:48, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't the Fate be listed as absorbed into Sigma Designs?[edit]

The reason I am saying this is because my father worked for Trident prior to its end in 2012. He began working at Sigma following this. However, in recent years, Sigma Designs has transitioned to a company called V-Silicon. Eightsixofakina (talk) 06:07, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
