As you may already know, nVIDIA announced their Geforce Go 6600 mobile GPU today, and they also mention that "Notebooks combining the graphics muscle of the GeForce Go 6 GPU series and the latest in Intel Centrino Mobile technology (codenamed Sonoma) are available for purchase now from Aopen, Arima, Asus, Clevo, Compal, ECS, FIC, Gericom, Medion, Mitac, MSI, Sharp, Sony, Toshiba, Twinhead, Uniwill, and Wistron."
Aside from Sony and Toshiba, has anyone seen a Geforce 6200 or 6600 GPU being used in an OEM laptop? The current Tecra M3 with the 6200 TC doesn't look so attractive, but the FS series with the Geforce 6200 TC certainly does. Aside from those two, I haven't seen a Geforce 6200 or 6600 offering from anyone. Since the 6800 eats up so much power and since most OEM's are only offering them with power hungry P4 DTR chips, the 6800 is pretty much out of the question for most mobile users who care even a little about battery life or weight. Thus, it appears that ATI has already cornered the mobile PCIe GPU market in this first round, with Dell, Sony, Toshiba, Acer, Gateway, and HP already offering or announcing models with X300's, X600's or x700's, no?
