About 11 months ago we wrote about ATI's then latest graphics chip, the Mobility Radeon 9000. Launched here in London with fanfare usually reserved for desktop parts ATI, who have an impressive history in mobile graphics processors took the clear lead in the mobile graphics stakes with the Mobility Radeon 9000. On March 13 2003 they announced the M9's (as it became known) replacement in the form of Mobility Radeon 9600 or M10 in the hope of building on the success of the M9.

The M10 is quite a large step forward, with many new features being thrown in. Not only does it bring the best performance on notebooks we've seen, we can finally enable 4x full screen anti-aliasing (FSAA) and 8x anisotropic filtering (AF) and get frame rates in excess of 35FPS, which is pretty impressive for a notebook. Aside from the raw performance figures, there are a number of interesting technical advancements too.
