Nvidia Unveils Five Mobile GPUs
Techtree News Staff, Jun 16, 2009 1714 hrs ISTBuilt from 40nm manufacturing process, would be Windows 7 read
Nvidia has quietly added five new mobile GPUs to its GeForce 200M series line up for notebooks. All five new GeForce G (Mainstream), GT (Performance) and GTS (High Performance) series GPUs are built from 40nm manufacturing process and would be Windows 7 ready. Though there isn't any official announcement from Nvidia as yet, these five new GPUs are already listed on its website.
These five new GeForce 200M series GPUs will join the four mobile GPUs including GTX and GTS series announced back in March. Five new GeForce 200M series include mainstream GeForce G210M featuring 16 processing cores with graphics core clocked at 625MHz, processor core clocked at 1500MHz and memory clocked at 800MHz. The G210M features 512MB GDDR3 memory with 64-bit memory interface. This GPU has thermal design power rating of 14 Watts making it ideal for mainstream netbooks and entry level notebooks.
The performance segment gets GeForce GT 230M and GT 240M GPUs. Both feature same total of 48 processing cores, 1GB DDR3 memory, 128-bith memory interface and thermal design rating of 23Watts. However, the difference lies in the processor and graphics core clock speeds. GeForce GT 230M has graphics core clocked at 500MHz and processor core clocked at 1100 MHz. While GT 240M is a slightly pepped up version of GT 230M and has graphics core clocked at 550MHz while processor cores clocked at 1210MHz.
New GeForce GTS 250M and GTS 260M with 96 processing cores, supporting GDDR5 memory standard are slotted in high performance segment. GeForce GTS 250M has graphics core clocked at 500MHz, processing core clocked at 1250MHz, and memory clocked at 1600MHz.
While the GTS 260M is slightly pepped up version of GTS 250M and has graphics core clocked at 550MHz, processing cores clocked at 1375MHz, and memory core clocked at 1800MHz. Both GTS 250M and GTS 260M feature 128-bit memory interface for wider memory bandwidth. However, in Thermal Design Power rating GTS 260M goes high to 38Watts compared to the 28watts of GTS 250M.
All these GPUs are Windows 7 and DirectX 10.1 compatible. Also, all these GPUs, except GeForce G210M, support Nvidia's PhysX technology for hardware accelerated graphics along with HybridPower for moving in to low-power mode when GPUs not required to be used. All five new GeForce 200M series GPUs support Nvidia PureVideo HD Engine that aids in offloading H.264, VC-1, and MPEG-2 processing to the GPU and there by relieves CPU.
Nvidia is yet to officially announce these new GeForce 200M series mobile GPUs and hence, notebooks as well as netbooks might take a while to come out.
