We ran the cards through all benchmark scenarios, but to avoid repetition, we will only include benchmark scores from two of the scenarios. As we push up the resolutions, the Mobility Radeon 9700 increases its 10% lead at 1024x768 by another 2%. The margin between the two is still basically under 30%, which is what we expect to see.
The Mobility Radeon 9600 Pro doesn't close the 28% margin between the Mobility Radeon 9700 in this scenario. With both 1280x1024 scores, we hit the sub 30fps market. The difference is that at 1600x1200, the M10 GPU can hit sub 20fps (depending on the clock speeds), while the Mobility Radeon 9700 will nudge itself slightly above 20fps.

Andrew, did you run 3Dmark 2001SE? Do you have the score as reference?My guess: Checking the list, you can see that almost ALL the ODMs are included. The manufacturers who make machines for the biggest OEMs are included. 2 missing ones that I noticed are Mitac and Arima, and my guess of the unannounced ODM is ARIMA.... thus, the big OEM announcement will be..... you got the picture :)
W740K8-D? :P

Or maybe begins with s, ends with y, and has 4 letters.Anyway, the 9700 looks pretty darn good

What is the price difference between the two (9600 pro and 9700).PrinceGaz - Tuesday, February 3, 2004 - link
I wonder who the other BIG unannounced notebook manufacturer using it is... from a wild guess I'd bet the name begins with 'D' and has four letters :p
