DAAMIT quiety pushes 2700 mobile
128-bit notebook chip
THOSE NOT not watching incredibly closely indeed might have missed the latest salvo fired in the mobile graphics war between DAAMIT and Nvidia - the Mobility Radeon 2700.
The new chip as 120 stream processors and a 128-bit memory bus, which compares well with the 8600M from Nvidia, which also has a 128-bit bus but has fewer stream processors.
The 2700 has all the standard Avivo features including HD video decode, support for DirectX 10 (although not 10.1) and the Powerplay energy management gizmos.
No word from DAAMIT on who has announced laptops shipping with the card - in fact, no public announcement at all as far as we can tell, with the AMD press room silent on the new release.
Keep your eyes peeled, then, for systems featuring the new card. We only have unofficial word that it will turn up in a new Fujitsu system, but we can't seem to find that anywhere either.
Perhaps for graphics launches, low-profile is the new paper launch? µ

Clouded comparison
"which compares well with the 8600M from Nvidia"Unfortunately nvidia released a mobile 8800, meaning ATI is competing with a previous generation in your story.
Might not be completely upfront and honest?
