claims ATI has taped out the Mobility M97, one of its first 40nm mobile GPU. The chip has just been taped out and is said to run at 500MHz.
We wouldn’t know how many Shaders and pipes this chip has but we suspect it has a tad less than M98.
We have a feeling that this is actually a 40nm RV740 sibling but its too early to confirm it. This would mean that summer notebooks might have some 40nm inside at minimal clock of 500MHz and GDDR3 memory that would run at 850MHz or faster.
