  • Sound Blaster X-Fi is a PCI, PCI-E or USB sound card series from Creative Technology. It is an add-on board for PCs. The X-Fi (for "Extreme Fidelity") was released in August 2005 and comes in XtremeMusic, Platinum, Fatal1ty FPS, XtremeGamer and Elite Pro configurations. The 130 nm EMU20K1 audio chip operates at 400 MHz and has 51 million transistors. The computational power of this processor, i.e. its performance, is estimated as 10,000 MIPS (million instructions per second), which is about 24 times higher than the estimated performance of its predecessor – the Audigy processor. It is interesting to note that the processor’s computational power is optimized for the work mode selected in the software. With the X-Fi's "Active Modal Architecture" (AMA), the user can choose one of three optimization modes: Gaming, Entertainment, and Creation—each enabling a combination of the features of the chipset. The X-Fi uses EAX 5.0 which supports up to 128 3D-positioned voices with up to four effects applied to each. This release also included the 24-bit crystalizer, which is intended to pronounce percussion elements by placing some emphasis on low and high pitched parts of the sound. The X-Fi, at its release, offered some of the most powerful mixing capabilities available, making it a powerful entry-level card for home musicians. The other big improvement in the X-Fi over the previous Audigy designs was the complete overhaul of the resampling engine on the card. The previous Audigy cards had their DSPs locked at 48/16, meaning any content that didn't match was resampled on the card in hardware; this was done poorly and resulted in a lot of intermodulation distortion. Many hardcore users worked around this by means of resampling their content using high quality software decoders, usually in the form of a plugin in their media player. Creative completely re-wrote the resampling method used on the X-Fi and dedicated more than half of the power of the DSP to the process, resulting in a very clean resample. Furthermore, in "Audio Creation mode" with "bit-matched playback" option X-Fi can work with real 44100Hz sample rate without any kind of resampling or other signal processing.

Procesor ten, wykonany w technologii 130 nm, pracuje z częstotliwością 400 MHz i posiada 51 milionów tranzystorów. Jego moc obliczeniowa wynosi około 10.000 MIPS (milionów instrukcji na sekundę). Procesor X-Fi jako pierwszy obsługuje EAX 5.0. Potrafi przetwarzać do 128 dźwięków 3D.
  • Sound Blaster X-Fi (сокр. от англ. «Extreme Fidelity» — «экстремальная точность») звуковая плата, выпущенная в августе 2005 года Creative в конфигурациях XtremeMusic, Platinum, Fatal1ty FPS, XtremeGamer и Elite Pro. Большинство моделей имеет аудиочип EMU20K1, произведённый по 130 нм техпроцессу, работающий на частоте 400 МГц и имеиющий 51 миллион транзисторов. Вычислительная мощность процессора, то есть его производительность достигает 10,000 MIPS (миллион инструкций в секунду), что составляет приблизительно в 24 раза больше, чем примерная производительность процессора Audigy. Интересно заметить, что вычислительная мощь процессора оптимизирована для работы с некоторым отдельным ПО. X-Fi также имеет «Активную Архитектурную Модель» (от англ. «Active Modal Architecture», AMA), дающая пользователю запустить один из трёх оптимизационных профилей на выбор: Gaming (игровой), Entertainment (развлекательный) и Creation (создавательный), каждый из которых запускает определённую комбинацию возможностей чипсета. X-Fi использует EAX 5.0, который поддерживает более 128 источников 3D-позиционированных голосов с более чем четырьмя эффектами, применимых к каждому.
