AMDZone has a review of the AIW 8500.
When ATI first told me they were going to make a 128MB version of their All-in-Wonder cards I was not exactly impressed. It was only when the card showed up at the lab that I learned what this card was truly all about. Unlike it's severely underclocked (but highly featurized) 8500DV brother, this version of the Radeon8500 All-in-Wonder is a fully clocked version, sporting newer BPGA RAM and 128MB of it. Obviously ATI came to play when they created this card. This card looks to be a great all around solution for anyone wanting most of the features of the 8500DV but also want to have a killer gaming rig.
