Fermi Heading to Laptops With GTX 480M?

[spoofedpacket]

[citation][nom]soldier37[/nom]With battery life at 15 min enough time for one round of Bad Company 2. Fermi = Fail![/citation]

Anyone who claims to run a real gaming notebook on a battery for any length of time is going to be lying.

Anyone who thinks a multi-GPU or big GPU notebook is intended for being run on battery needs to go back to reading PC World.

I guess when their performance champ has been knocked down a few notches, there is nothing left but to focus on things that don't matter to rational people.

Like most, I predict a re-badge of a lower end part... History speaks for itself in the nvidia mobile department... 100W is going to be a killer if that is JUST the gpu...

[citation][nom]otacon72[/nom]If that 100W means it needs 100Watts of power...[/citation]

They were talking about sound output from the fans. Actually. You can expect 120dB of painful whirring when sitting 6 feet away from the laptop.

No the burning sensation in your pants is from the girl youve been seeing.

Laptop doubles as a hair dryer!

They will probably clock the 480M version down a bit because the laptop i7s are just going to create a bottle neck anyway. It would be pointless putting a full blown desktop performing version into a notebook. Obvious is obvious.

I reckon this thing is gonna be useful for making grilled cheese sandwiches...

 

[scook9]

unfortunately ATI has began to adopt the poor practices of nvidia in naming gpu's as well

the 5870m has 800 SPs and a 128-bit GDDR5 memory bus 🙁 (still 40nm, DX11, and MUCH higher clocks than the 4870m though - people have gone as high as 1000 MHz)

all that being said...the 5870m can score 10k Vantage GPU score with a single card which still rocks

 

[liquidsnake718]

Without the specs Im not convinced, this could be a fermi gf100 chip but the benches might make this gpu to be only as good as a gtx260 or even the gts250(9800gtx+) in terms of visuals with DX11 on a laptop!

sounds like a good night to me 😉

Time to recycle the G80 again.

 

[Marco925]

i guess because of the sheer heat, I will be fixing that many more laptops that de-solder themselves from overheating.

God... that video is gonna give me nightmares tonight O_O

nvida should market it as a spermicide. cause that thing is going to boil your nuts. oh and imaging if they put this into the core i7 macbook pro it would be a "hot" product

 

[climber]

This is intended for workstation applications as their will eventually be a quadro variant, it is also for desktop replacement and laptop GPU computing applications. I don't even want to think of the SLI version of this laptop, the heat coming out the back will be like a jet engine. ASUS's F-117 Nigh Hawk inspired design has nice airflow for CPU and GPU cooling, perhaps ASUS will use a similar design to package the GTX 480M?

Im sure it won't make a difference... it already idles so high!

 

[drowned]

It won't just burn a hole in your pants...it'll melt right through your entire leg like a plasma torch.

 

[nottheking]

Interesting to note that no one seems to have any specs present... So like others, I'll remain skeptical on whether it'd be an actual Fermi-based product. After all, the "GTX 285M" was, in fact, yet another re-badged G92 product, not a GT200.

So all told, a "GTX 480M" will likely turn out to be a re-badged GT200, albeit perhaps on a 40nm die shrink. Downclocking won't really get you 100w with a GTX 480.[citation][nom]silky salamandr[/nom]No the burning sensation in your pants is from the girl youve been seeing.[/citation]
No, the heat from Fermi in your lap would be a surefire way to cure that... As well as your fertility. It'll sterilize both.

 

[Guest]

I hope they will be releasing other scaled down versions of Fermi that are more power efficient, else nv is dead in laptop segment.

Portable oven, great in winter, for about a minute before it dies, give or take ten seconds.

 

[mikewong]

Umm... How long until it comes out? Forever?

 

[elcentral]

well i think it can be handy if your in like a housebuss. you take out your lap top run crysis fry bacon on your key board and holding a steady 7K remms to keep your comp alive ^^.

 

[warezme]

My first thought on reading this....

What version of the G90 is this going to be?

 

[zak_mckraken]

It's actually a good thing. The laptop will become multifunctional and also serve as a small cooktop and heater. Perfect for every dorm or small appartment.

 

[JohnnyLucky]

Looks like a unanimous vote of no confidence in the product.

 

[UberGenocide]

whats that smell *sniffs air*

smells like...melting plastic and cloth...but where

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH *stops, drops, and rolls*

my prediction

But it would be a nice compact gaming machine and for some on the go

Battery life, if you could imagine, would be impractical for on the go

Maybe they will lower power consumption 😀
