    Hm, not too revolutionary but i like it. One the I7 wasn't overclocked nor was the GPU. Plus the latest drivers aren't out. Its gonna be interesting to see the full potential of this card.

    Just as we expected, a decent card with DDR5, but still a downgrade from the GTX 260 or 9800m GTX. Actually looks a lot like 9800m GTS level. It is nice to see how the i7 820 and 920 mobiles benchmark in CPU tests against the q9000 and qx9300.

    Pretty much a worthless set of tests, seeing as how the GPU was only benched on one game for the comparison. It still kept up with the 9800 GTX at native res though.

    I'd say its definately meant for mobile (the tdp is tiny on them things) but we aren't moving anywhere in terms of performance right now.

    I look forward to real benchmarks with a Q9000 Core2Quad, 2.85 Ghz Core2Duo Vs the i7 with the same GPU and the same resolutions (closest), same games and a test that is actually worthwhile. The only problem is that I can't see anyone buying the new i7 capable Sagers with a GTX 260M in them and the resolutions are slightly different.
