A series of mobile graphics chips GeForce 200M became a little more. The company NVIDIA has announced the release of five new mobile GPU, each of which is made on 40nm production methods, and supports DirectX 10.1.

Unlike the GeForce GTX 280M and GTX 260m, which were made on the basis of a fairly thick 55nm core G92, the latest mobile solutions are made on the basis of the same architecture as the GPU GT200, which made a series of desktop chips GeForce GTX 200, but more subtle production methods . In addition to switching to new production methods, NVIDIA included in the new mobile GPU supporting DirectX 10.1 and memory GDDR5 (both first appeared in a series of GeForce), and made a "change in the micro architecture to improve battery life and improve overall graphics performance compared to the previous generation. "

However, users who were expecting a super-elite 40nm behemoth will be disappointed. The fastest of the new mobile chip NVIDIA has a total 96 universal processors, it is far less universal than 240 processors at the GT200. Thanks to an improved architecture, a relatively high frequency of memory and support for GDDR5, chip GTS 260M, according to NVIDIA, almost equally fast as the GTX 260M. Numbering scheme of mobile graphics processors NVIDIA leaves much to be desired, so figure out what segment include a chip, it is possible only through the scheme, provided by the manufacturer.

NVIDIA also claims that the performance of the new chip GeForce G210M double the productivity model GeForce G110M, while its energy consumption in idle mode for 50% less.

The manufacturer reported that by the end of this year, new graphics chips will be presented "more than 100 models of laptops. As competitors of new models will serve chips AMD Mobility Radeon HD 4860 and 4830, which came three months ago, made on 40nm production methods, support DirectX 10.1 and have 128-bit memory interface GDDR5.
