I'm wondering why they mentioned it's slower than the desktop 480; what mobile GPU is ever even close to it's desktop form?]]>May 25th 2010 9:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/nvidia-geforce-gtx-480m-worlds-fastest-mobile-gpu-now-offici/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/nvidia-geforce-gtx-480m-worlds-fastest-mobile-gpu-now-offici/May 25th 2010 9:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/nvidia-geforce-gtx-480m-worlds-fastest-mobile-gpu-now-offici/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/nvidia-geforce-gtx-480m-worlds-fastest-mobile-gpu-now-offici/I thinks it's already been mentioned- 100 watts.

Remember how we went from the 333mhz processor all the way up to the 1ghz from 98- 2001.. but after that.. things just seem to slow down..

That is why there has been a movements last couple of years towards parallel architectures and other ways to do more instructions per seconds than just "brute force" clock speeds.]]>May 25th 2010 9:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/nvidia-geforce-gtx-480m-worlds-fastest-mobile-gpu-now-offici/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/nvidia-geforce-gtx-480m-worlds-fastest-mobile-gpu-now-offici/

I think it has a lot to do with processor manufacturers slowing clock speed and making processors all around more powerful. Judging on clock speed alone, many (if not most) of the C2Ds would be better than most of the i7 line. And we both know that isn't true. Now is the performance increase is worth the price jump? That's up to you and your wallet to decide.]]>May 25th 2010 9:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/nvidia-geforce-gtx-480m-worlds-fastest-mobile-gpu-now-offici/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/nvidia-geforce-gtx-480m-worlds-fastest-mobile-gpu-now-offici/May 25th 2010 11:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/nvidia-geforce-gtx-480m-worlds-fastest-mobile-gpu-now-offici/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/nvidia-geforce-gtx-480m-worlds-fastest-mobile-gpu-now-offici/May 25th 2010 1:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/nvidia-geforce-gtx-480m-worlds-fastest-mobile-gpu-now-offici/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/nvidia-geforce-gtx-480m-worlds-fastest-mobile-gpu-now-offici/No, you're ALL wrong, it's about the TRANSISTOR count doubling.

I don't remember the model number, but my brother's Asus with the 240m doesn't have heat issues. Maybe we just don't push it enough?]]>May 25th 2010 9:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/nvidia-geforce-gtx-480m-worlds-fastest-mobile-gpu-now-offici/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/nvidia-geforce-gtx-480m-worlds-fastest-mobile-gpu-now-offici/
I think it's pretty scandalous for mobile graphics cards to have the same name as their desktop counter-parts when they're either totally underclocked OR a completely different and worse chip.

I would say this is even worse than name recycling which at least put the GPU in the correct performance "spot" in the naming scheme.]]>May 25th 2010 9:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/nvidia-geforce-gtx-480m-worlds-fastest-mobile-gpu-now-offici/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/nvidia-geforce-gtx-480m-worlds-fastest-mobile-gpu-now-offici/
100W TDP is precisely twice more than mobile Radeon Mobility 5870 - http://www.amd.com/us/products/notebook/graphics/ati-mobility-hd-5800/Pages/hd-5870-specs.aspx - would be interesting to see the two in the benchmarks.

What would make the comparison even more interesting is that officially mobility 5870 can pump 1.1TFLOPs. ~200GFLOPs more than 480m.]]>May 25th 2010 10:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/nvidia-geforce-gtx-480m-worlds-fastest-mobile-gpu-now-offici/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/nvidia-geforce-gtx-480m-worlds-fastest-mobile-gpu-now-offici/May 25th 2010 7:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/nvidia-geforce-gtx-480m-worlds-fastest-mobile-gpu-now-offici/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/nvidia-geforce-gtx-480m-worlds-fastest-mobile-gpu-now-offici/

Interestingly enough, this card could be an amazing even for non-mobile situations where you don't need the full-steam performance (or price/heat) of the desktop version.
