NVIDIA Announces Enthusiast Mobile GPU

In an attempt to continue their ATI-ass-kicking, NVIDIA has released a new top-end mobile GPU to replace their Go 7950 GTX. According to DailyTech, the new 8700M GT pushes a 10,371 3D Mark 06 score, which I assume to be with the Toshiba WXW. Currently, Toshiba is the only notebook manufacturer to be selling the GPU, which is not much of a surprise since most of Toshiba’s notebook lineup tends to follow the high-end scheme.

I admit I an intrigued, because the 8700M GT has specs substantially better than the 8600M GT. If temps stay reasonable, then this will be one serious gaming notebook.

NVIDIA packs the GeForce 8700M GT with 32 stream processors clocked at 1.25 GHz. The overall core clock is 625 MHz and paired with 800 MHz, 1.6 GHz effectively, memory. NVIDIA specifies a maximum 512MB of video memory on GeForce 8700M GT graphics cards. Aside from the clock speeds, the GeForce 8700M GT is identical to the previously released GeForce 8600M-series.
