Recently, we revealed the 40nm desktop GPUs lineup from Nvidia and now we will reveal their 40nm mobile GPUs lineup for this year to give you a better picture. Nvidia naming scheme for mobile side is pretty confusing, let alone the number of re-branding and renaming taking place but we have compiled a nice table to make it easy for you to understand.

This transition to 40nm will first take place with their high end GT212 GPU in Q2 follows by the mainstream GT214 and GT216 as well as value GT218 in Q3. Read more to find out.
Nvidia apparently has a solution to the problems faced by many in their notebooks powered by GeForce 8M series, that is, to encourage the OEM/ODMs to buy their new problem free chips. Of course, this doesn't solve the issues faced by current users and there won't be any replacement for them.
Nvidia has come out with a new GPU called NB8E-SET which is essentially NB8E-SE with the new underfill. NB8E-SE is used on many notebooks most commonly advertised as GeForce 8700M GT, GeForce 8800M GS or GeForce 9650M GS. NB8E-SET (G84-751) uses the new Hitachi underfill and is clocked at 625MHz core and 128-bit 800MHz GDDR2/3 memories similar to the current NB8E-SE.

As you can see that a slew of GeForce GTX 295 previews are out today, some 20 days before its official launch at CES next month. Certainly, it is a tried and proven method employed by the red camp previously. The main motive is to deter people from purchasing the HD 4870 X2 this Christmas and wait for their GTX 295 card instead. Apparently, the previews now are restricted to certain benchmarks that Nvidia wants the reviewers to test only. No card for you if you don't follow their rules :) Probably, those are the ones that offer the best performance advantage over the 4870 X2 but you will get a clearer picture when the NDA is officially lifted on Jan 8th.
