Eurocom might have let the cat out of the bag a little early as it has updated the specifications of its X8100 Leopard mobile workstation notebook to include a GeForce GTX 480M graphics chip, probably to replace NVIDIA’s 280M. The chip is described as using the Fermi architecture, and offers a large 2GB worth of video memory on the chip, as well as being churned out using the 40 nanometer process of the newer GeForce chipsets. Based on the description, it’s very possible that that chip might be extremely ability hungry, as the figure of 100W was mentioned, though it wasn’t clear whether that meant TDP or ability requirements. The PC builder expects the new hardware to be available in June, which should be a good indication of a broader launch which includes other major manufacturers. Are you looking forward to a new graphics solution for laptops?

After the NVIDIA Optimus teaser was posted in early January, there was some speculation about what it was, but we now have first-hand knowledge: NVIDIA Optimus is an architecture for multi-GPU computers (typically integrated + discrete) that allows the operating system to seamlessly switch amidst integrated and discrete graphics. The goal is to use the most appropriate graphics processor at any given instance in order to minimize capability consumption or maximize performance.

I’ve seen it in action, and I can tell you that it is leaps and bounds better than what is out there today. Typically, today’s computers require several steps in order to switch from one GPU to another. It’s not intuitive and most users don’t even bother doing it considering it’s a hassle.
