Compression Testing


Compression and encryption is more memory intensive, so the difference between discrete and integrated graphics is greater than decompression and decryption, which is more dependent on hard drive speed as well.

Interestingly, I've just taken off the heatsink from the Asus board and the RS690 northbridge is labelled slightly differently!

also, why in the FPS test does it say "time in seconds - lower equals better"?

Does this mean AMD/ATI are going to end up dominating the mobile market? At least they're now concentrating on it and producing some decent kit.

"but it was delayed because of *dalays" *delays
"Join us as * delve down inside" *we?
"Radeon X1250 it isn’t *an derived" *-an?

Thats just me being picky though :D the review is really informative and this chipset looks like it could be a major bonus for use in multimedia rig :D
