In the accomplished brace of years, Nvidia accept consistently launched their flagship cartoon cards aboriginal and again eventually abounding up the mid-range and boilerplate slots. AMD, on the added duke accept consistently followed a altered philosophy, they would absolution one mid-range and high-end agenda aboriginal and again after absolution the boilerplate and flagship cards. While Nvidia’s next-gen Kepler GPU is still months abroad from release, we assuredly accept some codenames and blueprint of the adaptable chips that will accomplish their way to notebooks in 2012. The blooming behemothic is afterward bottom-to-top release, this time and the aboriginal dent to absolution would be the GK107.
 Starting small this time around The engineering samples of the GK107 are accessible and will appear in four SKUs - N13P-LP, N13P-GS, N13P-GT and N13E-GE. Furthermore, the chips will affection a 128-bit anamnesis interface and abutment DDR3 and DDR5 anamnesis types. The aboriginal three SKUs with the ‘P’ suffix will a lot of acceptable be the almsman to the GT 500M series. The endure one, with the ‘E’ suffix could angle for enthusiast, in which case it will alter the GTX 560M. This move from Nvidia of starting with the entry-level chips will alone advice them back if our anamnesis serves us correctly; they haven’t absolutely had any abundant account cartoon cards for a while now. This will accord them a adventitious to analysis out the new architectonics and abuse it to get bigger yields. The assembly samples of GK107 are accepted ancient in January 2012. There’s still no chat on the high-end chips, yet, which makes the delay all the added painful. |
