MARKHAM, ON ? Just weeks following their launch, ATI?s (TSE:ATY,
NASDAQ:ATYT) MOBILITY RADEON 9000 and MOBILITY FIRE GL 9000
mobile visual processors, the world?s first family of mobile
visual processors with hardware support for version 1.4
pixel and vertex shaders, are now available in over twenty
powerful new mobile designs.
These
include flagship models from global brands such as Apple,
Dell and Hewlett-Packard, as well as high-end desktop
replacement and desknote computers from leading European and
Taiwanese vendors, highlighting ATI?s worldwide leadership
in mobile computing.

?The
MOBILITY RADEON 9000 family?s widespread industry acclaim
and rapid adoption by OEMs worldwide is the result of
products that deliver industry-first features, unprecedented
performance, next-generation power saving technology, and
impeccable software stability,? said Reuven Soraya, Director
of Marketing, Mobile Business Unit, ATI Technologies Inc.
?The MOBILITY RADEON 9000 family has been a catalyst in the
development of notebook PCs so powerful they level the
playing field against desktop PCs, and we anticipate an even
broader adoption of this technology in the coming months.?
The
MOBILITY RADEON 9000 family is the first and only mobile
visual processors to use version 1.4 pixel and vertex
shaders, which fully enable users to experience breathtaking
special effects coded into the latest video games. The
MOBILITY RADEON 9000 family is comprised of true mobile
processors with unique mobile features such as POWERPLAY
3.0, ATI?s aggressive third-generation power management
technology, up to 64 MB of integrated memory, and integrated
LVDS (low voltage differential signaling) which allows the
processors to drive notebook LCD screens without requiring
additional components.
The speed
at which notebook designers have implemented ATI?s MOBILITY
RADEON 9000 technology is unprecedented. Unlike competing
solutions, the MOBILITY RADEON 9000 product family leverages
ATI?s unique FLEXFIT platform architecture, which allows
manufacturers to control costs and reduce time to market by
creating a baseline platform that can be tailored for
different market segments without changing the software
driver set or redesigning the motherboard. Previously,
consumers have had to wait several months for announced
mobile graphics technology to appear in notebooks.
