AnandTech web-site has reviewed Dell Inspirion XPS Gen 2 notebook. This 17” desktop replacement mobile PC is powered by Intel Pentium M 2.13GHz microprocessor, 1GB of DDR2 memory clocked at 533MH and is equipped with NVIDIA’s top mobile GPU – the GeForce Go 6800 Ultra.

“We are going to look at today is the highest end notebook we’ve yet seen (in terms of graphics speed) compared against the high end desktop configuration we used when testing SLI graphics. This will serve to give us a good picture of where ultra high end notebook performance falls with respect to ultra high end desktop performance. As the core clock on the GeForce Go 6800 Ultra is higher than most desktop GeForce 6800 Ultras (400 to 425 depending on the vendor), it’s very possible we could see some interesting numbers come out of this. Of course, the notebook’s Pentium M 2.13GHz processor will limit the performance of the system compared to our Athlon 64 4000+ desktop. We aren’t likely to see the Go 6800 Ultra paired with anything but a Pentium M due to the TDP requirements of vendors. Mobile Pentium 4 and Mobile Athlon 64 parts are still too hot to be able to economically run a Go 6800 Ultra as well,” AnandTech writes.
