[Beware WCCF] GTX 980M possibly land in October?

[ViruZ_HUN]

Hi!

 

Found information about the GTX 9xxM series which are to laptops (and mobil devices?? Idk). The question is. Will this land together with GTX 8xx series in October?. It most likly can't be true that 2 GTX XXXM series GPUs Land in same year?.

Quoted info:

 

We have received a pretty interesting update on Nvidia’s Maxwell Mobility front. This mobility leak, as usual, comes from the user Cloudfire over at NotebookReview Forums. Apparently, the GTX 980M Flagship is landing in October this year. Since the release date of desktop Maxwell also coincides with this, and the information comes from a reliable source, I will not be tagging this post as a rumor and will treat it as confirmed.

  Geforce 900 Series Mobility Maxwell – GTX 980M Flagship Shipping in October

Uptill  now we only knew that some new Geforce Mobility Cards were coming and that they were going to have Maxwell Counterparts as well. We now have a more or less a reliable lock on the release date of the main card as well. The New Nvidia cards are going to be landing in around October this year and are going to be a part of the new 900 series. The Geforce GTX 980m is going to be the flagship card of the whole bunch and though we do not have confirmation on lithography, it will most likely be Maxwell and the mobile variant of the GM204 die.

That said, I am not sure how this will fit in with the 880MX leaks we have been getting for a while now. Since if the dies are Maxwell then in all probability we are looking at 28nm node and if it is 28nm then the GTX 880MX was supposed to be the new mobility king. If the GTX 980M is instead making an appearance then does that mean we won’t be seeing the MX series after all? Most Probably. Unless ofcourse, Nvidia goes completely bonkers and decides to go for another milking run instead, which would seem highly unlikely. Since the Mobility GPU, GTX 980M has a very distinctive name, not to mention a nomenclature flagship, as opposed to a transitional name such as being a variant of the preceding series with just ‘MX’ added, these GPUs are here to stay for a while. Now for some good old speculation on the upcoming Geforce 900 Series Mobility Cards Lineup:

• Geforce GT 940M
• Geforce GTX 950M
• Geforce GTX 960M
• Geforce GTX 970M
• Geforce GTX 975M
• Geforce GTX 980M (Ship Date: October)

The above list shows the probable lineup of 900 Series Mobility GPUs led by the GTX 980M and we might see some old rebrands in the lineup as well. Since we are looking at GM204 and even some first generation Maxwell dies the possible probable combinations are too numerous to list and will probably be wrong anyway, so I will refrain from doing that. The Maxwell 980M should offer a very substantial performance increase over the now aged GK104 die that was used in the 880M. We don’t have anymore information at the moment but from the looks of it, we should be hearing more about the Geforce 900 Mobility Series soon enough.

I will literally never trust wccftech.

 

I'm like 99% sure i could write an anonymous email to them about the GTX 580000 and they'd make an article about it

[BonBon Scott]

 

Seriously though, I heard WCCF is a big ol' pile of rumours and no-one trusts them.

For someone who warns people about WCCFTech, you sure seem to love posting their crap..

Hilarious if this is true.  I just picked up an MSI GS70 with an 860M, I thought the 8 series were still pretty new but nope/maybe.

You realize that these news by WCCF will appeal on other sources later which you call trusted, and If they appeal there then it could be true.

I really don't think Nvidia would release the 900-series so soon and cannibalize the 800-series, which has only been out for 4 months.

 

But I love how the WCCF author is treating it as confirmed simply because some user with a lot of posts on the NBR forum posted it, and it coincides with with the desktop Maxwell release date.

I'm not gonna lie but I doubt it, 980M to be rumored to launch this Oct. The 8XX mobile gpu line-up was only recently unveiled a couple months ago & then released in store in pretty much every online retailer. 800M was released during March,2014. I wouldn't trust using this source too much any more, who'd keep using the cooler for the GTX 670 over-repetitively during the 700 & now upcoming 800 series & 900M.

 

If there isn't any shrink in the die processing 28nm is pretty much going to limit us power hungry users, we need more.

No, that doesn't make it any more true. I don't think I've seen any rumors that WCCF has started that ended up actually being true.

[Kevinkt]

can we seriously ban WCCF "news" posts seriously.

source will be same shit news again so

I gotta say, not only was it nice of you to put a beware wccf disclaimer up but the poll is actually also quite nice so it's not a completely useless thread. All WCCF threads should be like this or alternatively, offer cookies to visitors to compensate.

But. It is not be calling it true. It is ppl like you. If for example Toms hardware post the same after WCCF? Is TH a bad source then?

 

I am not defending WCCF but WCCF had rigth a couple of times. WCCF said that GTX 8xx series will coem around October then later other sources said the same?

[APrettyCoolWalrus]

Another mobile flagship the price of two more power desktop flagships in SLI? Huehuehuehue...

I put cookies in their mouthes so they keep quiet about WCCF:D but it do not work:(

1 correct news doesnt make up for 49 wrong news.

Well it doesn't adds up like that: If I make 12 predictions of which month the new card is coming one for each month, at least 1/12th or 8% of the time I'd be correct. It's not that they're never right it's the amount of times they are wrong that gets em the bad rep.

[SpyRosL]

Seems too soon for 900m series to hit the market.

800m was released on march IIRC.

Fine you win. I got no arguments left>-<
