NVIDIA is adding the powerful GT200 based mGPU (Mobile GPU) graphics chips to the market with a new and improved G200M lineup.

 

The G200M’s bring bleeding edge technology to the mobile platform with the 40nm manufacturing process (something not even available on most of their mainstream desktops graphics cards at this time) GDDR5 memory,  and DirectX10.1. NVIDIA totes the units as providing double the performance at half the energy cost. The 40nm process is greatly anticipated for the mobile platform, at is should help to  reduce power consumption and consequently produce less heat. The new mGPUs will also incorporate NVIDIA’s  CUDA technology, which will make devices more feasible for users who can utilize this technology in things such as HD video encoding, photo editing and 3D applications. It is clear that these discrete options will be catering to more of the desktop replacement crowd, rather than mainstream users.

Rumours state that we will likely see these new GPU’s implemented into the higher enthusiasts devices later this month.

    Man, wished they were doing that to desktop GPUs.

    :( One could only imagine eh. 38W TDP, low heat, low noise. Would take a hit in performance sure, but it would still be a great thing for consumers

  • Om nom nm

    These are g92′s not the gt200 cores… so ya, guess what 9800m’s aka 8800m’s stuff from 3 years ago.

    way to go nvidia, way to try and pull the old switharoo yet again

  • FiXT

    Sincere apologies

    It would appear a correction update to the article did not take effect. The announcement is, that they are in fact ADDING the GT200 chips to the lineup with these new mGPU’s. The previous generation was based on G92 cores.

    I meant making the Nvidia desktop GPUs 40nm, GDDR5, and DX10.1

  • FiXT

    Oh haha – Either way it pointed out a rather confusing first sentence.

    Two birds with one stone :D
