Buzz: GTX680M first benchmark in M17xR4!

[maxheap]

Oh when will people learn to actually read what I write carefully rather than assuming things. Read your quote properly.

Architecture rebrands, optical shrinks or MONGREL CHIPS. The 480M was a travesty that should never of existed.

If it makes you happy we could go with first chips of each architecture, it matters not so long as you stick with it:

6k -> 9k -> 19k

Which does expose the fact that we skipped an arch better as to when, so maybe that is a better way of ordering it I suppose.

But feel free to keep proving my point.

Dude, I am done arguing with you because you are full of contradiction.. if you wanna skip 3 years for a bench then wait until 2014 as your lovely 19k 485m bench was taken January 2011, don't worry, 2 years from now on there will be 150% improvement probably due to the success of Kepler (And Maxwell), on par with your fascinating standards...

You're done because you finally see that you are wrong.

Nvidia have finally woken up, they are no longer using the same arch over 3 "generations" of mobile chips. This is a new arch on a new process and significant gains should be seen.

Feel free to ask any other questions over the past chips and find out why this is the case. I'd be happy to fill any gaps in your knowledge in this area.

very mature, congratulations.

[Meaker]

very mature, congratulations.

Lol, if that's all you can say then I was right, you were done.

I'd rather believe that you were simply ignorant of the data there rather than wilfully trying to twist it to prove your point.

I mean you can't seriously be saying that the performance jump going from the 9800M to the 280M, an optical shrink of the same arch has ANYTHING to do with the 580M to 680M going from 40nm to 28nm with a new arch? I gave you more credit than that.

[maxheap]

anyway dude, I will say it one last time because I saw your previous posts and thought you are a person with hardware knowledge, but then I am done.

you are in contradiction (mathematically speaking) because you are comparing 7950 to 8800 then 8800 to 485, 485 (which is essentially 580) to 680. First of all, if you wanna compare 8800 to 485, then you must compare 470/480 to 680 (not 485, it is basically 580, with 5 months in between), otherwise if you wanna compare the latest highend prev arch to earliest highend new arch, then you won't find this 50% performance improvement (where the closest you come can be 8800/7950 with above 40%), anyway, I am also expecting good results from new arch, BUT as soon as I heard TSMC is screwing things up last summer, I bought my machine, otherwise I was waiting for Kepler to buy a new one, right now it looks like we will see gtx 560Ti performance (on stock ) in lappy, which is wonderful news especially for a crippled 28nm production, am I right? (I am sure nobody can argue against that) anyway let's end this thing, it went far too long, sorry for calling your standards fascinating, but I thought they are a little too high.

[Meaker]

You are looking at the mobile market in isolation is the problem.

Nvidia created the GTX280 desktop that could not be cut down into smaller chunks so the mobile market never saw it, they then released the 480M because the chips were simply not yielding. Neither of these is the case so mobile progression is no longer stunted.

[maxheap]

well, let's hope so (but I am still skeptical with all the problems at TSMC), I do want a fullblown gk104 in mobile environment, but we'll see in time

btw I read from multiple sources citing 7970m as 1536 shaders 65W TDP is it even possible?

[oan001]

I think you guys need to chill out and wait for some real benchmarks before drawing any conclusions. As far as I know the 680m is coming out in june.

[2.0™]

Seriously, in the absence of a good sampling of real world benchmarks, you can't be sure of anything. If anything, Nvidia is notorious for marketing hype. Because of that, hard evidence is required.

I think everyone's agitated over the lack of information.
