Today
NVIDIA ushered in its next generation mobile GPUs in the form of the world's
fastest notebook GPUs -
the
8800M GTX and 8800M GTS. The two new graphics processors have 96 and 64
stream processors, respectively, which they both couple with 500MHz core clock
speeds, 1250MHz SP clocks, 800MHz memory clocks, 512MB memory capacities, and
256-bit memory buses. The 256-bit buses together with Nvidia's mention of an
on-chip VP2 video processor suggest the two GPUs are based on a variant of the
65nm G92 graphics processor that launched in the GeForce 8800 GT.Nvidia says the
GeForce 880M GTX and GeForce 8800M GTS will be available soon in new notebooks
from companies including Alienware, Eurocom, Gateway, and Sager in North America
as well as a handful of other vendors in Europe and Australia. According to Epic
Games VP Mark Rein, GeForce 8800M-based notebooks are speedy enough to run
Unreal Tournament 3 "fantastically even at HD resolutions of 1920x1200."
The first benchmarks can be found on
HotHardware.
