Although Acer is all set to unveil the first NVIDIA Ion powered nettop PC, the Acer AspireRevo, netbooks with this technology is still a speculation.
The first set of laptops with the newly-launched ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3000 series of graphics accelerator cards have shored up in the U.S. Toshiba and Asus are rendering the HD 3650 in their variants of P305 and M50Sa laptops correspondingly. The HD 3650 is powered between 512MB to 1GB of memory, 120 rivulet processors, and a 128-bit memory border. Toshiba is also proffering the budget-adjusted laptop HD 3470 with 40 stream processors and a 64-bit memory interface in the P305 variant. AMD is also setting up to reveal the Mobility Radeon HD 3850 and HD 3870 graphics accelerator cards and even the dual-core variants (presumably HD 3850 X2 and HD 3870 X2); the single-core variants will feature 320 stream processor units and 256-bit memory interfaces (expected to be doubled on the dual-core variants).
