The DX10 Radeon mobile GPUs have also arrived
Today, not only has the range of Radeon video cards for desktops expanded, but there has also been an official launch of HD 2xxx mobile graphics processors for laptops and portable devices.
As a first step, AMD-ATI has introduced five new Mobility Radeon graphics controllers, the delivery of which to OEM partners has already begun, with the first laptops equipped with such GPUs to hit store shelves in June. Although some of the most important technical data is still hidden, the current amount of information is also enough to summarize the most important features of mobile Radeons in a table.
