HURRAY: Nvidia 600 series not just Fermi!! (Kepler)

[gamba66]

Hey gigabyte wants to release an astonishing 13 inch with ivy bridge, 640m and HD+ Display!

GIGABYTE - Media - News - Notebook & Netbook

They also feature a gaming notebook with a 660m

Now this is interesting!

Here is another comparison between GT 540M and GT 640M. Keep in mind that the 540M setup also have a Quad core and is tested at High settings while the 640M setup have a ULV Dual core tested at Ultra. It was the closest I could find

GT 640M Intel Core i5-2467M (1.60-2.30 GHz, 17W TDP):
STALKER 1366x768 Ultra settings
Day: 56.2FPS
Night: 60.1FPS
Rain: 70.5 FPS
Source

GT 540M Intel Core i7 2630QM (2.0-2.9GHz, 45W TDP)
STALKER 1366x768 High settings
Day: 46FPS
Night: 44FPS
Rain: 46FPS
Source

Wonder what the comparison would be running Ultra on both?

OH, wonder what that GTX 660M gonna be like. Fermi or Kepler? Perhaps its a juiced up GT 650M aka overclocked one since it is also a 128bit like 650M.

Yeah me too. I bet we get close to the performance difference we saw with Resident evil, around 65ish %. Man that Kepler is looking really good if you ask me

Hmm, I wonder if the new Asus N76 will have the 660m.
N75 has a 555m at 45W TDP.
So, a 45W 660m should go right in

I know Asus K75 will have GTX 660M

time to start saving 7870 being that powerful (yeah, looks like it is just busted in BF3, kills in the rest) implies one thing, gtx 660Ti will beat it bad, otherwise I am sure nvidia would have also started releasing, they are waiting till amd plays all their cards I am sure..

The thing is, that we might get GTX 680M very soon. They say GTX 680 is launching 12th March now, and its a GK104 core, which is what I think the 680M will be based on. Both have 256 bit memory controller. Nvidia have all engines running now (I hope)

Here are todays news about 680:
Nvidia will ‘launch’ GK104/Kepler/GTX680 in a week | SemiAccurate

I already have my money waiting btw. Since January.
I`m not shure if I go for AMD or Nvidia though. Waiting to see what they both offer first

Wow, and N series can't be behind K.
That's great, looking for a 17" 1080p to last me atleast 2 years...and better graphics never hurt
