1344 CUDA cores and 4GB of GDDR5 memory, wow, I was expecting only 768 cores and 2GB memory. This might be a lot faster than I was thinking it would be!

I think NVIDIA decided to push things as far as possible with Kepler in order to try and take an even greater percentage of the discrete GPU market.

It's not just at the high end with the GTX 680M ... NVIDIA wants notebook OEMs to see the value of putting a discrete GPU (even a low-end GPU) inside notebooks and ultrabooks instead of relying on Intel's latest generation of integrated graphics.

Price tag instakilled my excitement...

Yea, same here $524 *whistles*. Will this be a universal price tag for other laptop companies (MSI, Clevo, Asus)?

ORIGIN PC tends to charge a premium ... I'll leave it to the forum members to discuss if it's deserved.

As usual, the top-of-the-line GPU is always more expensive but you'll probably see several notebooks equipped with the GTX 680M for a more modest price tag before Christmas.

Does anyone have an ETA?

Now all we need is Eurocom to put two GTX680M's along with an 8-core Xeon inside that socket 2011 platform from Clevo...

Heavy duty suddenly gets a new meaning!

The benchmarks below have been provided by Nvidia, so definitely take them with a grain of salt.

What's the point of getting everyone excited saying it's now available when it isn't?
