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

Does not Alienware M17x support Optimus with GTX 580M ? I think so....

[gamba66]

One other niggling detail, normal gpu-z shots show the 570m and CUDA/DirectCompute are checked, why are they not checked on that 570m/670m shot?

you can check them yourself with a mouseclick

Why is the 560m named higher than the 580m? 10DE-1251. And the 460m was 10DE-0DD1.

Seems very odd they would only increase it from 1210 to 1213. Something seems fishy about this whole 'leak'. The keyboard (that extra key) seems odd, the fact it's a Sandy Bridge machine...things don't add up, we have to wait a little over a week still for CeBIT though And I'm sleepy, but I swear they were both 1210 when i looked at the screenshots.

Nope, they were different IDs all the time. 1210 for 570M and 1213 for 670M. But I`m pretty shure that it is easy to spoof hardware ID of a GPU just as it is with a HDD or any other hardware.
I just don`t buy it. 670M a Fermi, while 660M and 675M a Kepler? And 460M and 560M were both Fermi, i see no point in continuing this slightly higher clocks for another digit up. As if the naming thingy Nvidia got going on isn`t confusing enough already

Well it has a Sandy Bridge processor, why wouldn't they spoof that too?

Guys the italian clevo builder Santech.it has the new clevos up for configure and ready to ship the 19th of March.
They are offering only one gpu thought: gtx675m 2gb ddr5.
So I further investigated on it and a reliable source told me that its a rebadged gtx580m running at 775mhz, but I wasn't able to tell me if it's Kepler yet.
The price should explain the rebadging since its priced 390,00€.

lol lol lol lol looooool

Seriously?! So the whole 600 series is rebadged 500 series? So the Ivy Bridge notebooks that have been revealed thus far, Alienware M18X R2/M17X R4, Sager laptops, MSI with their next laptops with 670M/675M, Asus G75 with 670M, will all be a pathetic excuse for an upgrade?
What about the early leaks from semiaccurate with good Vantage scores for the 600 series, all a bluff?

?????

Maybe there is a 700 series lol. I think the entire 600 series is a rebadgings, but the entry Level 600 series are 40nm rebadgings, and upward are 28nm rebadgings, the 700 series is all Kepler 28nm. The reason behind this is to be competitive with the Radeon 7000 series naming 7xx?x. If I'm right I called it .

[plancy]

This reminds me of my Acer, it originally had Radeon HD mobility 5650, but later appeared with a rebadged version 6550m.

I just can't believe this is going to be true. It would mean that Nvidia has been misleading the media since CES, because the high-end GTX 600M have been called Kepler by numerous reputable tech sites, and Nvidia has never corrected any one of them.

Then there's that Nvidia has been pretending to have "samples", as if they were new prototypes.

It would be comical, and they're handing the mobile gaming market to AMD for 2012, at least until they get real Kepler mobiles released.

Just... no way.

[Cloudfire]

But numerous sites have claimed that Nvidia was starting to ship Kepler mobile GPUs to notebook OEMs already in January for a April launch.

The 700M series have never been mentioned

But if the 660M, 670M and 680M are 28nm but Fermi, why on bloody earth don`t they shove in MOAR cores when they have much bigger thermal headroom? The 670M have the exact same number of cores as 570M. Have this happend earlier with GPUs? A die shrink, but same number of cores, almost the exact same frequency on cores and memory, same amount of memory
