Even for the mobile market, XGI offers 3 different solutions; all of them are developed by Trident as we've mentioned it before.
XP5m64
The XP5m64 was designed for computers whose low power consumption is vital. XGI's very own CoolPower technology ensures that the chip produces 3,5W of heat at most. The XP5m64 has 25 million transistors only, manufactured on 0,13 micron process and comes in a 612-pin BGA socket. The memory controller is only 64 bit wide, but at least instead of taking up the system memory, it does have its own dedicated 64MB RAM. The chip itself supports TV, DVI and D-Sub output and capable of processing 2 pixels at one clock cycle with a clock speed of 230MHz. The XP5m64 is fully DirectX 8.1 compliant and furthermore comes with a technology called UltraClear which sharpens the image of TFT screens and tries to overcome some of the blur that is a result of motion pictures on such screens. There is no doubt, that the XP5m64 might be a good solution for computers handling 2D graphics, but it also has its weak points considering 3D. It's also to be mentioned that XGI is very proud of this chip for being more efficient than Intel's Centrino. In this case: more efficiency means longer battery life for your notebook of course.
XP5m32
The little brother of XP5m64, producing slightly more heat (4,2W) on a lower clock frequency of 200MHz, and it only has 32MB of RAM. For the rest: it is alike of the m64.
XP5
The XP5 is the fastest among the mobile solutions of XGI. It comes with a clock speed of 250MHz, and its memory controller is 128bit wide. This chip is capable of supporting 128MB of external memory, although this feature is literally unnecessary in a mobile environment. |
