Bad news the GTX 480M don't seem so powerful than that. Yesterday, I saw that the new gtx 480M offering up 897 gigaflops but i return on nvidia website today and oddly it offer only 598 gigaflops. So this card will be less powerful than the quadro FX 3800M (648 gigaflops) and of course the ati 5870M (1120 gigaflops but it's another architecture). We must see the benchmark for confirm that but how disappointing this new fermi GPU!!!

raw computational power != performance.

I agree but i would like compare the ATi and Nvidia Mobile and Desktop like this: the ati 5870 offer 2720GFLOPS and the 5870M offer 1120GFLOPS so it represent about 41.1%. For nvidia gtx 480 has1344.96GFLOPS and the gtx 480m 598.4GFLOPS it's represent 44.5%. So finally the GTX 480M will beat the 5870M of 13%. It is less than I expected for a price of 800$ while the 4870M cost about 400$. You have all the prices here :Clevo x7200 .
And It should be remembered than the ati has a TDP of 60W and the GTX 480M 100W. It also important for a laptop. And if you would like more power I guess it possible to overlock the 5870M more easily than the nvidia with 100W

Damn, that's some painful wallet bleed there.

Well, if the difference between the 5870CF and 480M SLI is only 500-600$, it might be not too bad (if 480M beats MR5870 by at least 20-25%)
Still...painful..

It would have to beat it by a scalable 40%-50% at least for me to even want to drop that kind of cash on those.

The 480M in SLI, is not for the value type consumer at all. It will be for ones who are used to spending over $3,500 for a high end notebook. Believe it or not there are quite a few of us that do....expensive hobby...

Believe it or not? I just dropped 3000$ on another M17x with 5870's. I have 30 days from the date it ships to me to be satisfied with it. Gives me some time to hopefully see some benches from the 480M's as well as real world power consumption. If I am very impressed I would not hesitate to pick up a new laptop with a pair of them. But I will need to be very impressed to spend that kind of dough.

I hope that we will know that before your 30 days are up, but I don't think we will have any SLI numbers for the 480M by then. As for the single 480M, hopfully we will have some reliable numbers by the middle of June..hopefully.
