Thanks .. I guess I will go with either ATI or Nvidia chipset.

I am learning DX10 and mostly work on a desktop with a good discrete GPU. I however am now considering a potentially cheap notebook that allows me to do some DX10 learning and development on the road. Is the 4500MHD (derived from G45?) a decent chipset for DX10? I do not care much about...

Hows CUDA simpler than OpenMP?

I wonder how long before L'Inq gets sued by Nv for disfamation?

Its interesting to consider who will buy the handheld unit from AMD? Qualcomm is supposedly using their graphics core in snapdragon.

Thanks for the link. That was an excellent review. As a GPGPU guy, waiting for new CAL release that exposes that global data share. edit : No info about "local data share" though. Anyone have any info/links on that?

fudzilla is reporting that sapphire and powercolor also release 4870. http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=8058&Itemid=1

I think you are misunderstanding their statement. They meant "Nvidia's suprise entry 9800GTX+" and not that Nvidia was surprised.

About the new hotfix for 4800 series: does anyone have information about whether its faster than the earlier version?

Well OMAP 35xx integrates it. So does Poulsbo chipset. We shud see products based on both of these in 2-3 months. The one I am waiting for, Pandora, is based on OMAP 35xx. You can find Pandora here : openpandora.org

Btw what is Advanced Video Transcode? On one of the card descriptions I see it can accelerate video transcoding? edit : that should read Accelerated Video Transcode edit : i see i might be living a couple of years in the past.
