    More @ GT 640M:

    found at: http://forum.notebookreview.com/acer/649057-detail-spec-acer-timeline-ultra-aspire-m3-5800-tg.html

    GT 640 1GB DDR3

    Seems to be P6412 @ 3DMark Vantage.
    GT 540M was ~P3500.

    The 640m is being benchmarked and still no word on specs? 85% more performance than GF108 on the same DDR3 is impressive but is it Kepler or Fermi based?

    Damn :), it took me 5min to understand that I'm looking at review on my own language which was translated to chinese and then to english :D
    Looks like these guys really have 640M and put the benches online by error... its removed from the site atm... - I hope they won't be punished for this :/

    I did read the link. Without knowing the implementation details (unit count etc..), I fail to see how you can conclude that would lead to less "gaming prowess." Worse performance / mm^2 I might buy, but the GTX 560 TI 448 vs GTX 560 TI results don't even support that.

    EDIT: (Even in the patent, the changes are described as advantageous with regard to performance/area.)

    Is it confirmed that the 640M is infact Kepler?
    I mean, it's just strange that there would be completely mixed Kepler / Fermi line-up on the mobile 6xx-line (630M Fermi, 670M & 675M are apparently confirmed GF114 Fermis)

    Since there is only 2 Kepler GPUs(GK104 and GK107) is alive atm, it seems normal to me.. GK106 was scheduled in May or early Q3 but maybe it's changed idk..

    I was talking about the proposed topic about no changes in functional units. If there's the same number of shaders in two products,...

    You may as well be speculating about the fast food industry on Mars.

    I wonder if gt640m and gt650m will turn out to be almost exactly the same just like gt550m and gt540m? Those were only separated by 10% core clock - certainly nothing which would warrant a different model number. Or possibly the gt640m might have one SM disabled out of four (the option of disabling SMs on the gf108 were a bit limited...)

    It wasn't a critique of what you said. It was an addition.

    I'm giving OBR the odds on this one. As of a few days ago the guys at [H] still weren't under Kepler NDA. The event on March 12th could be just a press briefing and NDA start.

    Nevertheless you have to admit it is fun having those two challenging eachother (or OBR challenging Charlie.. whatever :D).

    Makes more sense, yes.
    Appopin from Alienbabeltech hinted at some "travelling" soon some days ago.

    Prices on GTX 580/570/560 are also just beginning to move south and not dramatically so. A public launch in a week is really unlikely.

    This is pretty much what Charlie is saying:

    AMD's recent paper launches at least had reviews.

    wait, so OBR is saying two things:
    1) Review sites DO have the cards already
    2) But launch is NOT soon.

    Huh?

    Anyways, another screenshot to my collection, when the blog post gets pulled. Remember what the guy said about Cape Verde? :roll:
