    These games are silly. I hope consumers punish Nvidia some more for this.

    445m level performance in the 5-series should be rated LOWER. I would expect the 520m to perform like the 330m.

    The 320m is faster than an 8600m GT.

    Why even use the number scale?

    Because it sells.

    If you throw some big numbers out there people will want to buy.

    The GT 555M could prove interesting if it's put to work on the 14-15.4" category. Maybe even a 13" Acer xD.
    The other ones seem disappointing for a new generation of GPUs.

    Cheers!

    Yeah. AMD needs to be punished too. They're such con artists.

    Wait that doesn't leave anyone to buy cards from. Now I'm confused.


    Seriously, though, this is a result of the early launch. Keep in mind that most, if not all of the 500M cards will be rebrands, so that might be why the numbers are based on performance relative to the 400M cards. And NVidia's naming was always ridiculously confusing. The 400M series was the first to make perfect sense.
