950 is GM206
950M is actually GM107 - a 750 Ti rebrand with GDDR3 memory - it's a fair bit slower - probably around 50% slower

So XXXm ones operate slower than desktop ones?

Yep. M cards are mobile cards made for mobile systems. There power consumption and thermals are an big thing. As such those parts perform less then their desktop variants to adjust for the manufactors specs and desire. In the last couple of gens performance compared has gotten better, and it's now even possible to fit actual desktop grade stuff in laptops. But this still has an pricetag, and the thermal ouput remains something that has to be focussed on heavily still. But the new current gen cards are an good step forward for this scenario.

yes

Generally - 960 = 750 Ti
965M = 950
970M = 960
980M = 970

The current gen cards resulted in massive overheating issues in a LOT of laptops - it is a huge step backwards.

Maybe we have seen different results then

Everything except Clevo and high-end bulky Asus/Alienware laptops have heat issues with Pascal
