First GeForce GTX 280M benchmarks

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

The guys at Notebookcheck published the first Nvidia GeForce GTX 280M benchmarks. They conclude that it is an improvement over the 9800M GTX, but not a huge one, because it is a 55 nm version of the 9800M GTX and not a completely new chip such as the desktop GTX280.

But the guys at the Notebook Review forums do not like the results. I hope they publish their own benchmarks soon, just to compare.

And if you are in Europe, did you know that Cizmo is already offering laptops with the GTX 280M? At least in Spain it is!

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4830 and 4860 are first 40 nm graphics cards

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

ATI just announced the laptop graphics cards Mobility Radeon HD 4830 (DDR3/GDDR3) and 4860 (GDDR5), that are the first cards in the market manufactured using a 40 nm process. This could enable using them in 15″ laptops without problems. Interestingly, in spite of belonging to the most powerful series (4800), they use a 128-bit memory bus, while the 4850 and 4870 cards use a 256-bit memory bus. I hope to find benchmarks soon!
