NVIDIA GeForce 8800M GPUs Coming This Summer

NVIDIA will release this summer GeForce 8800M series video cards, which will be the most powerful graphics processors for notebooks. The mobile 8800 GPUs, designed for gaming laptops, will be based on the new chip code-named NB8E, The Inquirer reports.

“Currently in roadmaps we have seen somewhere between Croatia and Taiwan, NB8E should come to market as NB8E-GTX, NB8E-GT and NB8E-SE. These codenames will probably end as GeForce 8800M GTX, 8800M GT and 8800M GS,” according to The Inquirer.

It is reported that GeForce 8800M graphics cards for laptops will have decreased performance when compared to their desktop-use 8800 counterparts, in order to fit notebooks’ temperature and power consumption requirements.

Currently, the NVIDIA 8M series GPUs are available in GeForce 8600M and GeForce 8400M models, which are used in many of the latest Intel “Santa Rosa”-based laptops.
