Titolo: N.1 anche nel settore mobile.

A parte che al limite sarà "SOLO" nel settore mobile, perchè negli altri le
stà prendendo :-)
Cmq il progetto sembra interessante, sicuramente superiore all' attuale top
di gamma (la radeon 9000 Mobile).
Sapevo che anche ATi stava studiando una soluzione DX9 Mobile.
Vedremo chi proporrà il chip più performante e che consumerà meno (perchè
nei laptop il consumo e la temp di esercizio sono più importanti delle
prestazioni).

Interessante. In particolare insieme a Centrino, vuol dire che sta nascendo
una nuova specie di notebook: veri e propri desktop replacement senza
compromessi quando sono attaccati alla rete elettrica, capaci pero' di
*ottima* autonomia quando serve (il Pentium M consuma pochissimo, mentre la
FX 5x00Go puo' ridurre il suo clock *addirittura* a 16MHz nel caso ci sia
bisogno).
Il meglio dei due mondi, insomma. Puoi stare tranquillo, comunque, che la
risposta di Ati non tardera' ad arrivare: M10 sara' presentato tra poco, e
storicamente i canadesi non sono secondi a nessuno nel rapporto
prestazioni/consumi e *soprattutto* nel time to market (la GF4 4200Go,
presentata ormai *mesi* fa, e' disponibile solo oggi, in concomitanza con la
presentazione della nuova generazione di GPU portatili. Se questa e'
serieta'...). Evviva la concorrenza.

 che la risposta di Ati non tardera' ad arrivare: M10 sara' presentato
veramente M10 è già stato presentato, assieme alle 9800. L'NDA, però,
scade addirittura ad aprile.
No, non sono autorizzato a dire nulla in proposito.

 No, non sono autorizzato a dire nulla in proposito.
Immaginavo, non avrei chiesto nulla anche perche', con una gamma DX9 gia'
ben definita, i dubbi su caratteristiche e specifiche sono piu' che altro
sulle frequenze e su un ipotetico nuovo sistema di risparmio energetico, non
credo ci saranno poi tutte queste novita'.

come non detto. Oggi è arrivata l'email di conferma (evidentemente
l'annuncio di nVidia ha sbloccato la situazione). Traggo liberamente dalla
press release di ATi:
MARKHAM, ON/ Hannover, Germany - March 13, 2003 - Delivering a powerful
combination of innovative technologies and revolutionary performance levels
to the mobile graphics space, ATI Technologies Inc. (TSX:ATY, NASDAQ:ATYT)
unveiled the MOBILITY(tm) RADEON(tm) 9600 family of mobile visual processors
today at a worldwide launch event at CeBIT.
The MOBILITY RADEON 9600 will be the first mobile graphics processor to ship
with hardware support for the richest Microsoft® DirectX® 9.0 feature set
and version 2.0 programmable pixel and vertex shaders, which are required
for dramatic, true-to-life cinematic special effects.
Using an extraordinarily efficient 3D core delivering 12 pixel shader
operations per clock cycle, MOBILITY RADEON 9600 easily outperforms the
competitor's fastest mobile graphics chips, and astonishingly, delivers up
to 50% more performance than the fastest competing desktop graphics
processors in key benchmarks, including the industry-standard 3DMark 2003
Pixel Shader 2.0 test.
"The MOBILITY RADEON 9600 family is so far ahead of the curve that for the
first time, we see mobile graphics processors that deliver cinematic
imagery, performance and features superior to the competitor's highest-end
desktop products," said Phil Eisler, Vice President and General Manager,
Mobile and Integrated Business Unit, ATI Technologies Inc.  "With the launch
of the MOBILITY RADEON 9600 Pro family, ATI is continuing to build a
commanding lead in both the desktop and mobile spaces, and has again
delivered world-class visual processors to the market.
The MOBILITY RADEON 9600 family for the first time provides OEMs (original
equipment manufacturers) with the ability to design notebooks with
user-upgradeable graphics.  Its unique, flexible architecture implements
full pin and driver compatibility across multiple product generations, which
dramatically simplifies design and lowers costs.
MOBILITY RADEON 9600 is a multimedia powerhouse with comprehensive hardware
acceleration for encode, decode and de-blocking of MPEG-2 and streaming
video formats, and is the overwhelming choice of OEMs for a new breed of
portable entertainment notebooks. MOBILITY RADEON 9600 is the first and only
mobile graphics chip to integrate an HDTV encoder, enabling component output
to wide-screen HDTVs.
MOBILITY RADEON 9600 is also the first and only mobile visual processor to
support GDDR2-M memory, which delivers DDR-2 memory speeds while
significantly extending battery life through innovative power saving
technology.  The specification for GDDR2-M memory technology was developed
by a team of ATI engineers in conjunction with tier-one memory vendors.
MOBILITY RADEON 9600 gives OEMs the choice of using either discrete memory,
or one of three variants that offer up to 128 MB of memory integrated onto
the chip package, another industry first.
MOBILITY RADEON 9600 extends ATI's leadership in notebook graphics power
management, giving users both the longest battery life and highest
performance. Manufactured using the leading-edge 0.13 micron TSMC
manufacturing process, MOBILITY RADEON 9600 supports a low 1.0V core
voltage, with power consumption as low as 0.5W in idle condition. Active
power is at the same level as the previous generation, even though
performance and features have increased dramatically.
The impressive list of new features found in the MOBILITY RADEON 9600
includes:
·       ATI's SMARTSHADER(tm) 2.0 technology, which allows users to
experience complex, movie-quality effects in next-generation 3D games and
applications; Uniquely, ATI offers full-precision floating point color,
coupled with full performance, at all times;
· OVERDRIVE(tm), the world's first thermally-controlled over-clocking system
that uses an on-chip thermal sensor to scale engine speeds based on the
notebook thermal environment, giving improved gaming performance;
· HyperM(tm), a matrix of memory bandwidth optimizing technologies that
includes support for GDDR-2M memory, which offers users improved graphics
performance and longer battery life, and the industry's best lossless
z-compression and color compression technology for better visual quality and
performance;
· SMOOTHVISION(tm) 2.1 the best anti-aliasing ever in a mobile VPU,
utilizing 6 unique texture samples per pixel and ATI patented gamma
correction, as well as 16X anisotropic filtering. SMOOTHVISION 2.1 enhances
image quality by removing jagged edges and bringing out fine texture detail,
without compromising performance;
· POWERPLAY(tm) 4.0, a significantly enhanced version of ATI's
industry-leading power management technology which extends battery life in
all applications, by dynamically adjusting clock speeds and other settings
based on user activity; and
· :Support for AGP8X.
ATI is continuing to rapidly introduce revolutionary new architectures and
moving high-end technologies into the mobile market at a fast pace.  In
addition to shipping both a standard and a feature and performance enhanced
'PRO' variant of the MOBILITY RADEON 9600, ATI will also begin shipping the
MOBILITY RADEON 9200 mobile visual processor, which offers improved
performance over the award-winning MOBILITY RADEON 9000, and includes
support for AGP 8X.
Notebooks powered by the MOBILITY RADEON 9600 family will ship in notebooks
this spring. Launch partners include Actebis, Alienware, Asus, Clevo, ECS,
FIC, Fujitsu-Siemens, Gericom, HP, Medion, Media Markt, Mitac, NEC, Uniwill,
and Voodoo PC.

Facevi prima a dare il link ^__^

 and Voodoo PC.
Il che vuol dire che Acer e Dell hanno fatto la loro scelta. Comunque, con
Maggio come disponibilita', sara' direttamente a confronto con la FX. Trovo
in ogni strano che abbiano gia' annunciato l'evoluzione con GDDR2-M e clock
aumentato, mi sa tanto di dato estrapolato dalle roadmap che normalmente
rimangono sotto NDA, il tutto solo per fare un dispetto a nVidia.
Ciao,
Pietro


Quindi sarà un RV350 mobile, non un R300 ...
Me lo aspettavo, visto che il processo a 0.13 richiede meno energia.
Per le prestazioni potremo dire qualcosa quando finalmente avremo qualche
benchmark della 9600PRO.

Asino ignorante ed incompetente.
La Mobility 9700 e' pronta da tempo ed uscira' a breve, il mobility 9000 
ha dato ai portatili potenza e DX8 compliance molto prima della 
fetecchia-go, e tu resti un trollazzo ignorante ed incompetente.
Lol, magari la FX mobile, non essendo dotata di sifone, necessitera' l' 
immersione del portatile in una vasca di azoto liquido :-DDD
Massimuccio massimuccio... Sempre piu' fessacchiotto.
