The GeForce 200M series just got a whole lot bigger. Nvidia has announced five new mainstream entrants to the mobile GPU lineup, all of which pack a brand-new 40nm graphics processor with DirectX 10.1 support.
Unlike the GeForce GTX 280M and 260M, which feature a tweaked 55nm G92 GPU, these latest mobile offerings are derived from the same architecture as the GT200 GPU seen in desktop GeForce GTX 200 cards. Nvidia has gone a few steps further, moving to a state-of-the-art 40nm process, adding DirectX 10.1 and GDDR5 memory support (both firsts for GeForce products), and making "adjustments in the micro-architecture to improve battery life and overall graphics performance compared to the previous generation."
