    There is a new report over at Digi times (http://www.digitimes.com/NewsShow/MailHome.asp?datePublish=2005/1/13&pages=A7&seq=37), which indicates that last years trend of ATI outstriping Nvidia in the mobile market will continue this year with most of the new pci-x based machines to be shipping with ATI chips!
    Will be interesting to see it any have the X800, my guess is most will be x300 and 600 chips.

    About 60-70% of global notebook shipments this summer will feature PCI Express (PCIe)-enabled graphics solutions, buoyed by the launch of Intel’s Sonoma platform later this month and the support of PCIe-compliant graphics chips by the leading notebook vendors, stated Rick Bergman, senior vice president and general manager of desktop business unit at ATI Technologies, yesterday in Taipei.

    Demand for PCIe-enabled graphics chips will definitely surge after Intel launches its new Sonoma notebook platform, Bergman noted. The chip giant is slated to launch the new platform on January 19, according to an earlier DigiTimes report.

    In addition, PCIe-enabled desktops will account for 50% of global desktop shipments by the middle of this year and will continue to advance to 90% by year-end, Bergman said.

    ATI has so far shipped over four million PCIe-enabled graphics chipsets worldwide, accounting for about 80% market share in this segment, Bergman stated.

    In related news, ATI has set up an R&D center in Shanghai, the second of such facilities in Asia after it established an R&D center in South Korea in November last year, according to market sources.

    The Shanghai center, which will have a group of 60 R&D staff, aims to develop consumer electronics-related products for the China market, the sources added."
