INTEL LAUNCHED its Sonoma Centrino platform earlier this week, and ATI said that it managed to capture most of the designs based on it. That's after Intel's taken its bite of integrated graphics, of course.
ATI captured names including Acer, Alienware, Asus, BenQ, Fujitsu-Siemens, Eurocom, Fujitsu, IBM, Gateway, HP, Medio, Lenovo, LG, Sony, NEC, Samsung, Clevo, Targa, Toshiba, ECS, Compal, Arima, MSI, FIC, Inventec, Wistron, Uniwill and Quanta and to sell them its chips for Sonoma Centrinos.
At the same time ATI launched its X700 mobile part designed for thin and light notebooks. This is the first chip that will bring eight pipelines and six vertex Shaders into "regular" notebooks. Usually eight pipeline mobile chips ends up in extra heavy DTR ? Desk top Replacement machines. Now it fits in a tiny and light notebook. The X700 comes paired with DDR3 memory, which consumes less power.
ATI calls it the Mobility Radeon X700 and it's offered in various configurations. You will be able to find X700 chips in Acer, Arima, Asus, Alienware, BenQ, Clevo, Compal, ECS, Eurocom, Fujitsu, Fujitsu-Siemens, Gateway Inc, Inventec, Lenovo, LG, Medion, MSI, Samsung, Sony, Targa, Toshiba and Uniwill machines.
Nvidia, at the same time, announced that Sony plans to use Geforce 6 GO 6200 in a few of its notebooks, but that was about it. Our industry source actually said that ATI won as much as ninety per cent of the market and things don?t look so great for Nvidia in the notebook business right now. µ
