Even though
ATI's RADEON 9100 platform is reportedly pre-production,
it does exceptionally well versus Intel's integrated
graphics solution. The RADEON's AGP interface is
still being qualified, according to representatives from
ATI, so we'll leave coverage of that component until a
later date. The notable result here is the
performance discrepancy between the RADEON's onboard
graphics and that of the 865G.

By no
means is 837 an impressive score in 3D Mark 2003, but
compared to Intel's score of 125, ATI demonstrates
that DirectX 8.1 compliance can be invaluable in an
application that requires it. Intel's 865G score
is so low because the chipset only completes the first
test. The RADEON 9100 IGP, on the other hand,
finishes three out of the four tests that comprise 3D
Mark 2003.

The 865G
platform performs significantly better in the older,
synthetic application thanks to less intensive use of
hardware shaders, but ATI's RADEON 9100 IGP is still
decidedly victorious. In the future, as games
incorporate more advanced graphics that reach beyond
what the lackluster 865G can handle, the performance gap
between these two products should correspondingly widen.
