Let \(N_F(m)\) denote the number of integral solutions of a Thue inequality \(| F(x,y)| \leq m\) of degree \(d \geq 3\) and \(A(F)\) the area of the region \(\{(x,y) \in \mathbb R^2 \mid | F(x,y)| \leq 1\}\). \textit{K. Mahler} [Acta Math. 62, 91--166 (1933; Zbl 0008.19801)] showed that \(| N_F(m) - m^{2/d} A(F)| = O(m^{1/(d-1)})\) for \(m \to \infty\), where the constant implicit in the \(O\)-notation depends on \(F\). In the present paper this error term is estimated for \(d=3\) with absolute constants, yielding \[ | N_F(m)-m^{2/3}A(F)| < 9 + \frac{2008 m^{1/2}} {| D(F)| ^{1/12}} + 3156 m^{1/3}, \] where \(D(F)\) is the discriminant of the cubic form \(F\).
