NVIDIA has simply announced that the GTX 480M, the mobile re-spin of its extravagantly overpowered Fermi desktop elements, will likely be arriving in the middle of next month. Touted as the world's fastest cell graphics processor, this chip will deliver 352 CUDA cores and a 256-bit reminiscence interface to up to 2GB of GDDR5 RAM. These are clear and convincing advances over the incumbent Green Group leader, the 360M, but things begin to look slightly worrying after we examine the 480M's clock speeds.
The processor velocity is sort of halved from the desktop GTX 480, at 850MHz, the reminiscence does only one,200MHz, and the graphics run at 425MHz -- we did not know something worthwhile even operated under 500MHz these days. Both means, you are getting a computing powerhouse, with the 480M's 897 gigaflops comfortably dwarfing its predecessor's 413 and promising almighty tessellation performance. What all of it means with regard to protecting your frame charges up whereas traversing the Terminus Systems, we can't yet say. We'll let the benchmarking gurus figure it out -- go past the break for the complete press launch and spec sheet.
