Specifications of the Mobility Radeon X1900 Posted on 23/01/2007 at 20:24 by Nicolas
AMD has finally unveiled the specifications of the Mobility Radeon X1900 officially announced a few days ago. Thanks to this release, ATI will finally catch up with NVIDIA for pure 3D performances in laptops.
The new leading product of the mobility range is in fact based on the RV570 like the X1950 Pro and not on the R580 equipping the X1900 (X)TX and X1950 XTX. Specifications are almost identical: 80 nm fabrication process, Shader Models 3.0, 36 PS Pipelines, 8 VS Pipelines and 256bit memory bus. The PowerPlay 6.0 is of course included but the GPU/memory frequencies (and the power consumption which will depend on these data) are unknown. The Canadian manufacturer usually leaves laptop manufacturers choosing the "optimum" performances/consumption ratio.
In consequence, it is impossible to accurately extrapolate the performances of this mobile GPU. The only thing we can say is that they would be slightly higher to the GeForce Go 7950GTX if Alienware, Futjitsu Siemens and the other potential clients choose high frequencies. Now, the thing is that this supremacy won't last as the G8x mobiles are scheduled to be released very soon.
