Nvidia Unveils Five Mobile Graphics Processing Units (GPU)

Leading manufacturer of semiconductors, Nvidia has introduced five new mobile Graphics Processing Units (GPU) under its GeForce 200M series line up for notebooks. The five new mobile GPUs unveiled by Nvidia have been built from 40nm manufacturing process and would be Windows 7 ready. The new mobile GPUs include mainstream GeForce G210M featuring 16 processing cores with graphics core clocked at 625MHz, processor core clocked at 1500MHz and memory clocked at 800MHz.

The G210M features 512MB GDDR3 memory with 64-bit memory interface. This GPU is ideal for mainstream netbooks and entry level notebooks as it has thermal design power rating of 14 Watts. The five new GeForce 200M series GPUs will join the four mobile GPUs including GTX and GTS series announced back in March. GeForce GT 230M and GT 240M GPUs feature same total of 48 processing cores, 1GB DDR3 memory, 128-bith memory interface and thermal design rating of 23Watts.

The difference between them appears when it comes to processor and graphics core clock speeds. While GeForce GT 230M has graphics core clocked at 500MHz and processor core clocked at 1100 MHz, GT 240M has graphics core clocked at 550MHz and processor cores clocked at 1210MHz. GeForce GTS 250M and GTS 260M with 96 processing cores, supporting GDDR5 memory standard are placed in high performance segment. GTS 250M has graphics core clocked at 500MHz, processing core clocked at 1250MHz, and memory clocked at 1600MHz.
