ATI to Reveal Mobility Radeon HD 3000 at CES

[malware]

AMD's turn at CES announcements has added the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3000 series, its latest graphics chipset for notebooks. Similar to what standard Radeon HD 3000 line did for desktops, the Mobility version is said to bring visual and interface features that have never been seen for portables; it adds new graphics shader support for games and other 3D apps that can use the new features of DirectX 10.1 or more recent updates to OpenGL 2.0, such as new lighting techniques. The HD 3000 range also adds PCI Express 2.0 as well as the first-ever option of relaying video to DisplayPort monitors such as Dell's recently announced Crystal LCD, AMD says. The HD 3000 series is also more power-efficient than before while still maintaining useful extras such as full hardware decoding of 1080p video when exposed by software. AMD says it is already shipping a low-end HD 3400 chipset with 40 stream processors and a mid-range HD 3600 sibling with 120 stream processors in notebooks as of today, beginning with ASUS' M50 gaming notebook. Future versions, such as a likely HD 3800 version, are also expected in the first half of 2008.

*claps hands* damn its so small, i want like 4 of them.

it's prob just a hd2600 mobile at 55nm

tpu site did hang up when i click submit, andi had to close the page while it was processing

2600 core + 55nm + DirectX 10.1 + updated OpenGL 2.0 + UVD + 25% faster i bet +

^ How does a fab-shrink, a revision with DirectX and OpenGL result in 25% performance increment?

Its one of lifes mysteries...

I my self would never buy a gaming laptop but I think a HD 3800 Mobile more than makeable, I mean mine runs at 28c when im not doing anything

They might have made the design more efficient, maybe it's running at higher clock speeds, maybe the drivers improved an awful lot, lots of things that could have contributed.

if you did it twice, i thought i'd join in and make it a threesome. it was fun

and you were making fun of me all this time

Even though it may be a 2600 equiv. one must consider the fact that it is intended for laptops, considering that a laptop has a middle end GFX card, I don't think it would be too bad gaming on there.

Perhaps not the latest FPS, but Sims 2, Half Life 2, CS:S or something to pass the time when you are supposed to be working or studying.

It just shows how the performance gap between PCs and laptops is diminishing, and fast.

I wouldn't mind attempting gaming on one of those, but how hot will my lap be after an intense session of laptop gaming? I hear those things get pretty hot!
