This popped today. Some of the coverage is negative, folks are disappointed over clock speeds and the fact that this new part is based off the desktop GTX 465 – not the GTX 480.
I say who cares? It’s not hard to see how this will compare very nicely to the Mobility RADEON 5870 (itself based on the desktop 5770). One of these could be almost 3x the performance of the 280M (352 cores versus 128 cores) and the use of GDDR5 gives its memory an effective speed of 4,800 MHz with data carried on a nice wide 256 bit bus!
CUDA Cores: 352
Gigaflops: 897
Processor Clock (MHz): 850 MHz
Texture Fill Rate (billion/sec): 18.7
Memory Clock (MHz): 1200
Memory Interface Width: 256-bit
Memory Bandwidth (GB/sec): 76.8
I’d like to see two of these paired with an i7. Next gen M17x anyone?
