Has anyone seen official documentation on how this chip varies from the 5600? I have only seen it in Dell laptops. I haven't been able to find anything on Dell or NVidia's websites.

I called Dell. They said the FX 5650 is the only version, that there is no 5600. They are tech idiots. I have called them 3 times about various things and gotten a wrong answer every time.

I've seen some forum posts that say the 5650 provides 50MHz higher core speed that 5600, but I don't know if it's true.

Download RivaTuner (Or Powerstrip, but use RivaTuner first, it is much more effective, and less prone to errors - PowerStrip doesn't like the powersaving features...)

Anandtech.com seems to have revealed the difference between the 5600 and the 5650. Apparantly the 5650 uses a "flipchip" design compared to the "wire bond" GPU design used in the 5600. This allows the GPU to run faster, and is the NV31M rather than the NV31 of the 5600.
