AMD has the HD6990M ge lwa site: to AMD’s own words, the fastest notebook graphics card in the world. The gpu has about the same number of streamprocessors as the HD6870 for desktop computers, but has lower clock speed.

Roughly two weeks after Nvidia the GTX580M introduced, claims AMD now that the HD6990M the fastest mobile gpu in your hands. The video chip has 1120 streamprocessors, 56 texture units and 32 rop’s, and is consequently on that area identical to the HD6870 for the desktop.

To the heat and the tdp within the limits, the clock speed is a lot lower than that of the HD6870. The gpu of the HD6990M is clocked at 715MHz, while the gddr5 memory working at 900MHz. With that configuration, the computing power of the new chip from 1.6 teraflops.
