    A little while ago Beyond3D got their hands on an early motherboard revision based on the new ATI Radeon 9100 IGP integrated chipset - Here are the fruits of their reviewage:

    "As we can see the graphics for the RS300 chip has been cut back to two pixel pipelines in order to keep its complexity, thus cost, as low as possible. However, this allows the clock speeds to scale up to 300MHz, in turn regaining a small amount of the performance deficit to the 9000/9200 discrete graphics chips. The hardware Vertex Shader unit has also been removed to, again, keep the complexity to a minimum."
