Compact, All-inclusive Mobile Accelerator
The ATI RAGE MOBILITY 128 is a 4th generation mobile accelerator, and
introduces ATI's proven Super-Scalar Rendering Engine from ATI's RAGE 128
PRO desktop accelerator. It delivers the world's fastest 2D, 3D and
multimedia graphics subsystem on a compact, 31mmx31mm, 345-pin BGA package
with a feature set that is the most comprehensive in the industry, saving
space, power and cost.
The new RAGE MOBILITY 128 extends the performance standards set by ATI's
RAGE MOBILITY family of graphics accelerators while providing
industry-leading solutions for all critical mobile characteristics.
Fastest 2D and 3D
The RAGE MOBILITY 128's fastest 2D & 3D performance is a direct result of
its dual-piped, 128-bit, Super-Scalar rendering engine, which processes two
pixels for each clock cycle, thereby providing twice the performance of
single-piped solutions. In 3D, this improves performance by combining 3D
effects such as texturing and lighting or shading on a single pass
(Single-Pass Multi-Texturing).
Ultimate DVD/TV Encoder
The on-chip MPEG-2/DVD decoder with iDCT and motion compensation enables
full frame rate DVD playback with very low CPU utilization, thereby
extending battery life. The visual quality is equal to that of DVD players
available in the consumer electronics market, thanks to the 10-bit
TV-encoder with 6-tap vertical/10-tap horizontal filters. The TV encoder
supports both NSTC and PAL video formats, and complies with Macrovision 7.01
video copy protection standard.
On-Chip Digital Panel Scaling
RAGE MOBILITY 128's built-in filtered ratiometric expansion circuitry
smoothly scales source images of up to 1280x1024 to fit any panel resolution
up to 1600x1200. This is absolutely the best quality, host based scaling
available in the PC industry.
Integrated LVDS/TMDS with Spread Spectrum
RAGE MOBILITY 128 offers both a dual-channel LVDS interface (112MHz) and
a completely independent TMDS transmitter (165MHz) each capable of driving
UXGA displays simultaneously. The on-chip spread spectrum circuitry can be
used with either LVDS or TMDS transmitters to minimize EMI when driving
larger LCD panels. The TMDS transmitter complies with all VESA and DDWG
specifications.
Dual Display/16MB FB
RAGE MOBILITY 128's integrated dual CRT controller supports up to two,
completely independent UXGA displays with different (or same) display
contents and/or display parameters. Since driving two independent displays
requires double the frame buffer, the RAGE MOBILITY 128 allows for up to
16MB of frame buffer to fully support the dual display features at maximum
resolutions.
Best Choice for Corporate Notebooks
With stunning 2D/3D performance coupled with the most comprehensive
mobile features, the RAGE MOBILITY 128 offers the best graphics solution on
a single chip for true, desk-top replacement notebooks and portable
workstations. For the first time, corporate users can run a powerful 3D CAD
application and a demanding 2D application simultaneously on two large UXGA
displays from a notebook.
Ideal Choice for Consumer and Multimedia Notebooks
RAGE MOBILITY 128, with its high performance 2D/3D acceleration combined
with its most comprehensive multimedia and mobile features satisfies all the
demands of a multimedia enthusiast. It allows users to play fast 3D games,
enjoy high quality DVD movies, browse the Internet, or run business
applications without compromising performance or features no matter where
they are - in the office, at home, or on the road.
