5800 mobile gpus were 5700 desktop class performance 6900 are nothing new either
aka 6900m is a 6850 with slower clocks so expect slightly better tessellation performance over 5800m but nothing else changes
But i admit i don't know the full spec of both the 58xx and 69xx mobility parts so was just guessing based on what little i knew.
still this should be around 30% faster than a Mobility 5870 I think, and that's a whopping great amount of performance for a laptop alright, especially in CFX.
