Most important part of the article is the graphic

 

 

I losely translated the article

 

Following the 970M and 980M , Nvidia will release the GTX 960M, GTX 950M and GT 940M soon. 

The GTX models will both use 640 Shader units, 2GB VRAM and a 128 memory interface. 

This is similiar to the existing GTX 860M and GTX 850M, so any performance increase will come from the new Maxwell architecture.

The GT 940M will have 384 Shader units and 4GB of VRAM on a 62bit interface. This unit also shares a lot of similarities with its predecessor.

 

On of the first norebooks to use these GPUs will be the ASUS ROG G551JW featuring the GTX 960M

Nothing to be hyped about there...

930m is pretty much a higher clock Tegra x1 =) 

I want to see more 965m in Laptops soon. 

Wouldn't they just use GM206 for the 965m? 

[Guest Strangerbob]

the 970m and 980m reduced the gap between desktop and mobile significantly...

 

if these mid and budget segments do the same, then nvidia might be forgiven for all the bullshit they have pulled this year

if not, fuck them sideways - then a mobile carrizo will wipe the floor with them in price/perf

Why do they even bother to put 4GB VRAM on 62 bit? Just put 2GB and save money... I don't really know how many people are buying laptops based on how much vram it has.

I can barely afford to get a 840m in Australia sooooo

some software will use the vram to store information, the access speed doesn't need to be fast but it needs a certain amount of space, so its designed to be put in productivity laptops as wella s for gaming

Here in Australia where a 980 is $800....

but, can i overclock them?

[Nowak]

384 cores on the 940M? Sounds a lot like the core config on my old GTX 580M 675M.

lol n0

930m having 256 cuda cores, whats the point? will that even play Minecraft?

[Aethelbert]

It's a little disappointing seeing the 960M not be a 768 core half-980M. But remember the 860M came in two variants, the Maxwell 640 core one and the 1152 Kepler core one. So if 640 Maxwell cores equal 1152 Kepler cores these lesser core models shouldn't be terribly shabby.

God...you're better off waiting for Intel's 58xx/59xxHQ processors (Iris 6100/Pro 6200) instead of getting Nvidia x30 and x40M GPUs. Intel's top iGPU SKUs are officially on larger memory buses and have more stream processors too, not to mention the X1 losing to HD 5500.

Every consumer with no idea on how GPU's work will buy a GPU based on how much VRAM it has, it's really sad, people I know bought a laptop then started bragging about how it has 1GB of VRAM, they don't even know what GPU it has they just know how much VRAM it has.

 

Like dis' if u cri evertyme

Yehaw, finally. Cheapo gaming laptops incoming soon! Maybe i can move my girlfriend to a new laptop, it#s about damn time.

To answer your first question, silly cheap people. To answer your second question, yes.
