  • nVIDIA updates their mobile GeForce 200M series

    After having presented the new GT200M mobile series from GeForce in March, nVIDIA has now updated their list, with the objective of fully supporting Windows 7. Right now, the GT200M is featured by three models, but nVIDIA introduced five more solutions, in order to replace the ones that already exist. The new models are called G210M, GT230M, GT240M, GTS250M and GTS260M.

    The five new solutions, according to what was declared by nVIDIA, should replace the current offers, but there will obviously be an adaptation period on the market. Two will be the characteristicts that differ the new solutions from the old ones: 40nm fabrication process and support to DirectX 10.1. NVIDIA presents, in this way, the first GPUs manufactured and developed with the new fabrication process, that should be brought to the desktop products in the course of the next months.

    It’s still not completely known which architecture was used to develop the new models: analyzing some of the technical specifications, however, it’s easy to notice how the shader values are quite similar to what was seen on the previous generation, hence it’s easy to assume that those are mobile GPU models that are based on the G92, and not on the GT200 as it had been thought. Some of the technical specifications on the GT240M, GTS250M and GTS260M models there’s the support to the GDDR5 memories: a major modification made by nVIDIA in order to make the new GPUs support this kind of memory and guarantee a better bandwidth. The memory bus was fixed at 128bit.

    NVIDIA hasn’t only worked on developing five new solutions, but also continued to collaborate with a big number of OEM in order to develop more than a hundred models of notebooks by the time of the launch. Obviously, the technologies present in the past such as Hybrid Power, CUDA and PhysX were kept.
