ATI's Mobility Radeon 9700 - What's in a name?

Aquamark 3
Starting off with Aquamark 3, the Mobility Radeon 9700 takes a 28% increase over its predecessor. Scaling up to 1280x1024 only increases that gap marginally to 29%. These are the scores that ATI is, no doubt, helping to justify the naming in order to emphasis the "generation jump."

Andrew, did you run 3Dmark 2001SE? Do you have the score as reference?My guess: Checking the list, you can see that almost ALL the ODMs are included. The manufacturers who make machines for the biggest OEMs are included. 2 missing ones that I noticed are Mitac and Arima, and my guess of the unannounced ODM is ARIMA.... thus, the big OEM announcement will be..... you got the picture :)
W740K8-D? :P

What is the price difference between the two (9600 pro and 9700).PrinceGaz - Tuesday, February 3, 2004 - link
I wonder who the other BIG unannounced notebook manufacturer using it is... from a wild guess I'd bet the name begins with 'D' and has four letters :p
