Mike Andrawes van AnandTech heeft een review gepost van de ATi Rage Mobility 128, een 3D graphics chipset voor notebooks. De Mobility 128 is grotendeels gebaseerd op de Rage 128 Pro core en doet naast 2D en 3D ook hardware DVD decoding. Om het stroomverbruik te verlagen werd de kloksnelheid verlaagd naar 105/105MHz, wat resulteert in een maximale theoretische fillrate van 210MPixels/s. Uit benchmarks blijkt dat de performance ongeveer vergelijkbaar is met de TNT2 Model 64. Niet echt geweldig dus, maar voor mobiele gamers voorlopig de beste oplossing zolang de nVidia NV11 er niet is:
Basically, if you want a notebook that offers reasonable 3D performance in the next few months, there's nothing better than the Rage Mobility 128. As of the product announcement on October 25, 1999, ATI claimed a price of $55 in quantities of 10,000 - that's nothing compared to the price of a good notebook. There's obviously quite a bit of room for improvement, but there's simply nothing that's been announced that even challenges the Mobility 128. As mentioned previously, we'd like to see ATI go to a 0.18 micron process, increase the clock, and integrate 16MB of embedded DRAM with a 256-bit bus. While it's certainly wishful thinking, it doesn't seem too far out of reach at this point and that would allow for a huge boost in performance.
Rumors have started circulating about an mobile NV11 part from NVIDIA. We haven't been able to confirm or deny such rumors, but throwing T&L and 4 texels per clock could certainly cause trouble for the Mobility 128. Nevertheless, these are still rumors, while the Mobility 128 is real and available today (more on availability below).
