New 2012 Models Speculation Thread - PxxxEM Series (P151EM, P150EM, P170EM)

Ask nvidia how they come up with such crappy naming schemes haha

Lets just wait and see, if were lucky we will get some definite answers when the Cebit in Germany starts (Maybe im going there since I live in Germany) on the 6th of March.. Its rumoured that all the notebookvendors display their new IVB products there

I thought about taking my USB Stick with me, with some benchmark programms and hwinfo apps like gpu-z and so on and just get some real numbers from the notebooks shown there (IF they are shown there)

You are sailing on the unknown sea of nothing.

The 10000 score comes from the specs that were leaked a while back, something along the lines of... 650m 10000, 660m 14000, 670m 20000, 675m 25000. I don't remember the exact numbers, I do know the first two are what were said in the leak. And we have a slide that says 60% improvement over 555m. Considering the 635m = 555m, I would hope the 650m is 60% faster.

And the 650 isn't even close to being a 555m rebrand.. just sayin

You all should have learned long ago, that those performance slides AMD and Nvidia release are mostly misleading propaganda.

For one, we don't even know which GT 555M they were comparing to this mysterious 650M. It could've been the weakest one they could produce. I'll bet anything that they didn't use the 144 core w/ 192-bit DDR3 or 128-bit GDDR5 versions.

The 650M is not looking like it has the specs to beat either one of them.

Lets hope so! I still dont think its a 28nm part.. If nvidia really rebrands the 570m and 580m

The naming isnt a good indication though, especially with nvidia, there are often times cards with higher numbers which have slower perfomance, their naming is messed up

No, that's a different generation of cards, you can't compare a 295 to a 405, how else are they going to push out refreshes of cards if they don't go up in number? If you're stupid, okay, that's one thing. But we're talking SAME generation, please show me a case where a lower numbered card is faster than a higher numbered card, SAME generation, not different generations.

Edit: As those pictures were posted while I was posting, I'll just edit this in here: that 3DMark11 score (the only useful one), is 200 points higher than the 570m, I don't know if that's within margin of variance or anything like that, but it does look like a straight rebrand, the Vantage score is 8 points higher than what futuremark has down for the 570m: http://community.futuremark.com/hard...70M/benchmarks

And what about the chipset? HM77 or HM76-5?

[ichime]

Well, color me mildly disappointed :/

I have a feeling that the Radeon 7900M specs/performance might be as equally disappointing too...

It should be HM77.

[bonnie.clyde]

It should be HM77.

Thanks a lot. It would be nice.

It's only for dual cores as far as I understand, not quad cores.

And yes, the 570M doesn't seem to be made on the 28nm process.
