With their All-In-Wonder line going pretty much unopposed in the do-everything graphics card market, ATI keeps pushing out new models with more features and faster 3D performance on a seemingly monthly basis. Replacing the All-In-Wonder 9600 Pro, the recently released All-In-Wonder 9600XT is ATI's effort to keep the line fresh and to invite customers who want a graphics card with not only a wealth of multimedia features, but excellent 3D performance as well.
Like the AIW 9600 Pro, the AIW 9600XT gets a bit of a speed boost over its non-AIW counterpart. Clocked at 525MHz core and 325MHz memory compared to 500MHz core and 300MHz memory found on a regular 9600XT, the AIW 9600XT sports the fastest stock core clock speed of any consumer graphics card released to date. This, of course, can be attributed to the .13ยต low-k silicon process ATI pioneered with the RV360 graphics core.
