The Tessellation performance should be improved (like the desktop 6800 series) with the new cards. Therefore, the number of shaders is not comparable to the 1D cores of current Nvidia GPUs. The 120 Stream processors should be still based on the 'old' 5D architecture similar to the 5000 series. Compared to the faster HD 6490M, the 6470M only supports slower DDR3 graphics memory. It should be based on the Seymore-XT chip and therefore feature the UVD 3 video decoder. The AMD Radeon HD 6470M (sometimes also still called ATI Mobility Radeon HD 6470) is a laptop graphics card for entry level to middle class notebooks.
