XGI Technology has been planning PCI Express GPUs of their own for a while now (news), and according to DigiTimes the graphics chip designer will finally commence mass production of their first native PCIe-compatible offerings early next year.

The first of these will be the XG47 aimed at the entry- to middle-level desktop market, and the XP10 for notebooks.  The XG45 for the middle- to high-end desktop market will also follow sometime in the first quarter of 2005:

"Samples of the XG47 will be available sometime in November, [XGI President Jonathon Shyi] said, adding that a PCI Express VGA chip for notebooks, codenamed XP10, will be rolled out at the same time as the XG47.

In addition, XGI plans to start sampling a native PCI Express graphics chip, the XG45, for the middle to high-end desktop VGA market, in December, with volume production scheduled for the first quarter of next year, Shyi stated."
