Good news for laptop gamers, though I personally don't think a gaming PC is worth it if you can't upgrade it. Still, increased performance is always a good thing.

are the "M" versions retreads of the previous versions? ala M200 series were actually g92? I guess we shall have to wait and see.

These may well could be the 40nm derivatives of the GT200 chips. I have doubts about these being Fermi based because Fermi's not even out yet!

so true!

I've got a 20 that says these are rebadges.

Lol. :laugh:

Back OT- Hopefully these new mobile gpus offer a serious jump over the current offerings.

Well hopefully this isn't just a rebadge...but I won't be taking any bets to the contrary. Maybe a shrunken GT200? That would be alright.

Im guessing a GT200 mobile chip. Nice!

 

[postmortemIA]

i am guessing 8800GTS mobile chip

It's not a re-badge. Nvidia already did a re-badge of the G92 chips for their GTX 260/280M series. And when they moved to 40nm they released low end mobile versions of the GT200 series, as G210M, GT 220M, GT 230M, GT 240M, GTS 250M and GTS 260M.

That chart shows a GTX280M using a G92b core. 128 shaders, 64 TU, 16ROP. So they called a mobile GTS250 (essentially) a GTX280M.

I think the 300M series will be 40nm mobile versions of GT200. A.K.A. GTX360M = GTX260/192. GTX 370M = GTX275 and GTX380M = GTX285.

Just a guess, and it would seem to follow suit. But I don't know for sure.

GTX215/216/218 could just be 40nm G92c cores.

I'm expecting them honestly to all be G92c (40 nm) cores. Nothing wrong with that however a 9800GTX+ level performance in laptop is pretty quick.
