January 7th
AMD has already started production of its Mobility
Radeon 58x0 series and if all went well they are producing all three chips as
of November.
The launch date will coincide with notebook launches
and at least some of the notebooks to launch at CES will feature ATI's 40nm DirectX 11
graphics.
The date is January 7th and at press time we don’t know if AMD plans to
show one or all three chips. Let me refresh your memory. Park
is the codename for entry level, mid-range is codenamed Madison (Name of a New
York avenue, not Jensen's daughter. Ed.) and performance / high end chip
codenamed
Broadway.
We can only suspect that Alienware might be the one to
launch a super gaming notebook but let's not disregard many Taiwanese and US
notebook manufactures who are crying for some attention in the high end gaming notebook segment.
