World's Fastest Notebook GPU - GeForce GTX 480M

Posted: 25 May 2010 06:00 AM PDT

Today we introduced the new GeForce GTX 480M GPU for Notebooks and with it we're achieving some very impressive milestones. First, this is DirectX 11 done right for notebooks. Tessellation is the most important new feature for the DirectX 11 API, and the GeForce GTX 480M is a true tessellation monster for the notebook platform. It offers a dedicated Tessellation engine for up to 5x more performance than any other GPU.

Second, with the power of the GeForce GTX 480M GPUs, notebook manufacturers can set new records for notebook performance. Put simply: If a notebook maker wants to build the fastest possible system on the planet, they will start with GeForce GTX 480M as its foundation.

Third, we've now brought the vaunted Fermi architecture to notebooks. GeForce GTX 480M delivers nearly three times more NVIDIA CUDA cores over previous generation Notebook GPUs, which means users get unbelievably fast video transcoding, upscaling from standard definition to high definition and real-time movie clean-up with the click of a button.

And finally, the GeForce GTX 480M not only delivers the world's best gaming frame rates, it also gives added features that no other GPU offers, including NVIDIA 3D Vision technology for an immersive gaming experience, NVIDIA PhysX technology that brings games to life with dynamic, interactive environments and NVIDIA Verde Notebook Drivers for the most up-to-date performance from your notebook.

We're happy to partner with Clevo to introduce the first system based on GeForce GTX 480M. Stay tuned for more systems in the future.

Do More with Netbooks

Posted: 24 May 2010 02:52 PM PDT

Not sure what a netbook can do for you? This week at the Netbook Summit, industry players from all parts of the ecosystem are coming together to talk about just that.  We're here discussing the role of netbooks in different markets, the most effective uses for netbooks, software development and getting the best performance from netbooks.

Also wanted to share the latest installment in our video series, ION Netbook Stories. This one comes from  Mommy Blogger, Stephanie Dulli, who tells us how netbooks help keep her productive no matter where she is.

NVIDIA at the Netbook Summit

NVIDIA's kicking off the first ever Netbook Summit today, in San Francisco, California. The event is dedicated to the technology and innovations around netbooks - as you might have guessed from its name. We're participating on several panels (details below), and I'll be giving a keynote presentation at 2pm PST.

Netbook summit

In the keynote I'm going to be talking about the evolution happening in the mobile device industry. What's actually changed in the industry, and what factors are driving those changes? Part of the evolution is due to the growing volume and prevalence of digital content online. Consumers expect that content to be available for consumption anytime, anywhere – and they're demanding mobile devices that provide great mobile experiences. Which begs the question: what constitutes a great mobile experience? How do device-makers handle battery life, performance requirements and still deliver immersive graphics experiences in a hand held device?

Rather than spoil the ending, I'll just say that we hope to see you at the show. If you can't make it, stay tuned to the blog, we'll be sharing updates throughout the event.

Panel discussions we're participating in include:

  • New Paradigms in Netbooks, May 24 @ 8:30am - Bill Henry, Director, Tegra Product Management
  • People Can Do More with Netbooks, May 24 @ 10am - David Ragones, Director of Product Marketing, ION/GeForce
  • Processor Shootout, May 25 @ 10am - David Ragones
