    This is something like 2x as fast as the 9700 mobility, get real. It is pretty much the equivalent of a 9700 pro desktop part, however.

    I realize that it would not be an exact comparison, but could you add some old benchies from the 9700 Mobility and 9800 M. This would give a better point of comparison than just against a desktop sys.
    Also are there any things available talking about the differences in power optimizations between the old 9700 and the X700?

    Is there much point to the review of of a notebook graphics chip that has NO comparison to any other mobile graphics chips?

    Personally I find the benchmarks in this review totally useless.

    the big selling feature of this over the mobile 9700 is that it provides better battery life, it is also a more powerful chip than the mobile 9700

    How do we think graphics chip on this computer will compare to the Thinkpad T43p's ATI Mobility FIRE GL V3200 (128 MB)?

    Yeah, I play Doom 3 on medium, 1280x1024; runs pretty well. Same processor too; P-M, but with regular DDR, OCd to 2.125.

    This is the same as the 9700 mobility????

    Blech.

    This is what we have been waiting for?

    where is the pictures?
  • bobsmith1492 - Tuesday, March 1, 2005 - link

    So, basically this performs about the same as my 9700 mobility. Yay.

    ho hum...how much does this thing weigh? Surely not as much as that brick XPS.

    Very interesting!

    A broader comparison to not only PCIe would be welcome. How does this perform against the old centrino and ATI mobility ranges?

    What did the Travelmate 8100 weigh in the tested configuration?

    just one thing -
    how come i MUST have 10 pound heat sink w/ TURBO-JET fanZ to achieve a bit higher results in synthetic benchmarks
    while the same (or close to) cpu is running in ~1 inch case and it's good enough to play NEW games

    someOne is not telling the truth
