    nope. it is close though. the 8400m gt is just slightly less powerful than the 7600. the advantage is that you can find it in smaller, more portable notebooks than you would find a 7600. also- the energy consumption is significantly lower - (in line with the 7400 series)

    8400 does DirectX 10 also, right? (not that that matters yet...)

    3dmark is a poor indicator of gaming performance, especially across generations of tech.

    however, the mobility gpu comparison thread *stickied* is a very good indicator of gaming performance.

    8400m gt is just slightly less powerful than the go 7600 / x1600 gpu. however, it is considerably faster than the 7400 / x1400 gpu's from the previous gen.

    well i have a go7600 and lemme tell ya i dont think ive ever scored under 2000 with 3D2k6, whether it be default or 1440x900 or 1024x768. i doubt the 8400m GT will be faster but more like midway between GS and go7600
