7850M spotted.

[Karamazovmm]

Seriously? 7850M = 580M/6990M? That would have been soooo sweet. Notebookcheck (yeah I know they don`t know jack about it) puts it at GT 560M

the 560m is based on the 450, and that card loses in terms of performance for the 7770 that the 7850m is based on.

I could be very wrong, though. Its my guess and what I expect.

you have to remove some performance from all cards, dunno about how much

Judging from this 7870m:
AMD Radeon HD 7870M - Notebookcheck.net Tech

I reckon 7850m should be above the gtx660m. By the way theres no way a 7850m will be better performance wise then a 580m. I am actually suprised there is so many cards that perform the same. I mean nvidia gt 620m outperforms the 40nm 630m and the 660m outperforms the 670m. I would have liked 1800 3dmark11 of gt 640m and then increase by 600 in 3dmark11 each time not 300 ish each time.

Nvidia kepler cards all apart from maybe the 680m has 384 shaders.

the 660m cant outperform the 670m.

Dunno about the 620m, only saw it on the asus ux32vd review, and only one source, and that source is notebookcheck. And that 620m was a 28nm shrink from the 40nm gt 425m/430m/435m/540m/550m/555m/630m/640m/

As I said Im only guessing on the performance, and I may very well be wrong about it. And never said that the 7850m would outperform the 580m and 6990m, I said that it should be around, meaning close, but not up to that bar.

Is it just me or are amd so interested in APU's that they have given up on pure cpu performance. I know they are still 32nm but even high end core 2 duos still perform similar to them.

the 660m can like on ntebookcheck showed 660m running better on arkham city and even though its slightly less powerful it takes around 50-60w less power consumption.

Anyway just seen 7970m crossfire beast on notebookcheck with m18x r2 and that combo is more powerful then a desktop gtx 680 or desktop 7970 lmao.

Yes but a desktop gtx 680 or 7970 won't have any SLI/Crossfire issues.
If you look at the benchmarks on notebookcheck, several games run better with a single 7970M.

[Cloudfire]

Initial specifications indicate that it should have as much capability as a desktop 7750 or more likely, a desktop HD 5770 (it is more of a very underclocked desktop 7770 from hardware and clock specifications). This should enable ASRock to provide much better gaming performance (as much as double the performance of the Vision 3D 252B's GT540M)

EDIT: Hm, after multiplying the 560 TI by 0.7 (580M is 30% slower than 560 TI), the 5770 isn`t so far away from the 580M.

But Anandtech also say double performance of 540M, which isn`t even near GTX 560M...

Confusing

[Meaker]

An undervolted 7970M will be faster than a 580M and consume even less power than it does at the moment.

Not quite a notebook, but makes me very curious about this system (their previous line used MXM, so there may be an MXM A or B module in it for the 7850m).

Since they quote 45W for the GPU then my guess is MXM-B.

mxm-a is for cards up to 55-60W (memory included) . Quadro 2000M for example is a 55W card yet it is mxm-a. But AMD specs refer to consumption of the chip only and not the whole card so despite 7850M is 45w it may be mxm-b.

[moviemarketing]

It's also available in the Envy 17-32XX

[pterodactilo]

Considering that the power suply of the Envy 17-32XX is 120W I bet total consumption of the card is not beyond 60 W. So it would correspond to mxm-a.
