The GPU rat race

AMD has announced the first 40nm graphics processors running in ATI Molility Radeon HD 4860 and ATI Molility Radeon HD 4830. These have suppor for directx 10.1, and are aimed for the laptops, did i not say they are mobile. So what else is new? GDDR5 memory, twice the bandwidth of GDDR3. Lower power consumption thanks to ati powerplay, powerxpress and switchablegraphics. ASUS is supposedly the first to launch them in their laptops. The max resolution they can offer are 2560 x 1600. That would be a sight! But that would be in AC mode only, aww! This is a link to some images.

Rivals Nvidia have launched two new notebooks gpus – geforce gtx 280m and gforce gts 160m and 150m. These have NVIDIA Hybrid power technology, NVIDIA PhysX effects, CUDA computing architecture. The retailers having these in their laptops are Asus, Clevo and MSI.

Lets wait and watch for some comparison tests.
