After some the time waiting for the next generation of graphics chips Nvidia has finally announced their new Series 600 full range of mobile GPUs, but it appears not all of them will be based on the new Kepler architecture. Those new GPUs include Nvidia GeForce GTX 675M, GeForce GTX 670M, and GeForce GTX 660M in the enthusiast segment; GeForce GT 650M, GeForce GT 640M, GeForce GT 640M LE, GeForce GT 635M in the performance segment and GeForce GT 620M in the mainstream segment. And the 610M based on the older Fermi architecture has been available already for a while in notebooks, so it is nothing new actually. These new graphics processors should be starting to make their way in the latest offerings from different laptop makers, with Acer being the first on the market with their Acer Aspire M3-581TG Ultrabook that comes based on Intel’s Sandy Bridge platform and is equipped with GeForce GT 640M GPU. But there should soon be others coming with the next generation mobile platform from Int...

Alienware has updated its gaming laptops with the new Nvidia GeForce 600M series graphics, so now you can configure your Alienware M14x, Alienware M17x and Alienware M18x. Starting with GeForce GT 650M graphics available on Alienware M14x, GeForce GTX 660M or GTX 675M on Alienware M17x and Alienware M18x where you can also have a dual GeForce GTX 675M in SLI. Now, in theory this means higher performance, lower power consumption and less heat, however in practice this may not be exactly like that. Have in mind that the GTX 675M is based on a revised Fermi 40 nm architecture while the GTX 660M is currently the fastest mobile GPU based on the new Kepler 28 nm architecture, so in order to get less power consumption and heat you might want to go for the 660M instead of the 675M GPU as in terms of performance between the two the difference should not be that significant. You can check out the  from Nvidia to see what are the differences between the latest Nvidia mobile GPUs. The importan...

Toshiba has announced an upcoming 17.3-inch gaming laptop in the form of Qosmio X870 that will be equipped with a 120Hz LCD panel and support Nvidia’s 3D Vision technology. What is interesting about this announcement is the fact that Toshiba does not yet announce what kind of GPU the laptop will have inside, they just say “Next generation NVIDIA GPUs”, neither they say what will be the CPU inside, just “Latest Intel processors”. This information, along with the fact that the Toshiba Qosmio X870 should be available from Q2 2012 means just one thing, this laptop should most likely be getting the much anticipated and rumored a lot mobile Kepler graphics along with Intel’s new Ivy Bridge mobile platform… Toshiba Qosmio X870 details: - Latest Intel processors - Next generation NVIDIA GPUs - 17.3″ (43.9cm) TruBrite Full HD screen with LED backlighting (1920x1080p, 16:9, 5ms response time) - Up to 2TB hard drive or hybrid drive SSD option - Optional Blu-ray ROM or DVD SuperMulti drives - Res...

Maingear is the next company to announce a high-end 17-inch 3D-capable gaming laptop with support for 3D Vision that you can customize, similar to what Origin PC has recently done with their EON17-X3D 3D Vision Gaming Laptop . And much like the Origin PC’s solution, Maingear also uses the same bulky desktop replacement chassis made by Clevo – the Clevo P270WM, but the new thing here is that you can build the system to use the recently announced GeForce GTX 675M GPU – single or dual cards in SLI. Have in mind though that the GTX 675M is not based on the new Nvidia Kepler architecture and is not produced using the 28nm process, it is just a new revision of the Fermi architecture and the basic specifications are pretty much the same as the ones of GTX 580M. Alternatively you can go for a NVIDIA Quadro 5010M, but that will add quite a lot to the price and it is not an available option for the 3D model. You can of course decide if you want to get the 120Hz 3D-capable Full HD display or stic...
