3Dmark05 Results
The Thinkpad Z60m is among the fastest of the machines with dedicated Mobility Radeon X300 chips, but when compared to a notebook with the more powerful Mobility Radeon X600, the Z60m is completely bested. The X600 also offers four rendering and two vertex engines, but the core and memory clocks are significantly higher, and the 128-bit datapath for the video memory interface is twice as wide as that of the X300. Both of these factors contribute to faster rendering and delivery of 3D data, as is obvious by looking at the results from a notebook equipped with the MR X600, such as the LG LW60 Express.
