ATi Mobility Radeon X600 Preview

Zitat

It is rather hard to compare the Mobility Radeon X600 on the Pentium 4 550 / 915P platform against the Mobility Radeon 9700 on the Dothan 1.8Ghz / 855GME chipset. We found that the CPU/Memory performance of the pre-production notebook is low probably due to the fact that the notebook is running 512MB DDR2 on single channel mode and possibly memory timing issues. As such, 3DMark2001SE and Aquamark 3 CPU tests are affected by the low CPU/Memory performance. However, 3DMark2003 offers a better picture since it relies more on the GPU rather than the CPU and memory. It is pretty clear that Mobility X600 offers better performance than the Mobility Radeon 9700 with higher 3DMark2003 and Aquamark GFX scores. Hopefully this preview will give you some clues on the performance of the Mobility Radeon X600 and certainly we look forward to check out the performance again on a more stable and better performing platform.
