Samsung Laptops Show New NVIDIA 600 Series Mobile GPUs

Edison

While at this year's CES, we received a tip from an unnamed source that there were Kepler GPUs located in some Samsung laptops on the floor. So, we decided to go and check it out for ourselves and surprisingly enough, there were indeed some Mobile 600 series GPUs.




If you take a look at our images below, you will see that we saw two different laptops with one major variation, their GPUs. These were Samsung's Series 5, 550P5 and 550P7 laptops. The real major difference here was that one was a Kepler GPU and the other was simply a rebadged Fermi mobile GPU. Both laptops also support NVIDIA's optimus switching technology.



If you look at the shader cores you can see that the N13P-GT is going to be a mid-range performance part as it features 2GB of dedicated GPU memory as well as 96 CUDA cores and a 405MHz core clock. What's interesting is that if you compare this to the GT 630 GPU in the 550P7 laptop, you can see that both of them have the same amount of CUDA cores (shaders). The GK-107 part, the N13P-GT is actually clocked lower than the GT 630 GPU in the 550P7 laptop. Either this indicates to us that NVIDIA's Kepler mobile GPUs really do have an improved performance per clock, or the N13P-GT isn't as high-end of a part as had been rumored. Both GPUs have the exact same 2GB of DDR3 memory and both have the same 1.8GHz effective memory clock.



The similarity between clocks is really what confuses us, though, since the N13P-GT is a 405MHz part and the 630 GT is a 475MHz part. Those clock differences are followed by similarities in shader clock, which also mimic the GPU clock differential. We're just not sure why NVIDIA would make two so similar parts unless one was a newer generation part and the other was simply a rebadge.



We're still not entirely sure whether or not N13P-GT is a Kepler part or not considering its relative similarity to the GT 630 which has been known to be a Fermi rebranded mobile GPU. We are hopeful that we've stumbled upon the first Kepler part in a mobile devices, but we remain somewhat cautious about it being one considering all of the similarities.

2倍频率，96sp，莫非是马甲

明显马甲  n13p

不知道性能有没有泄露。看看黄老板说的移动独显史无前例的成功是个什么样子。

悟道

NVIDIA 295.22 驱动出了吗?怎么看驱动是295.22的.

N13P-GT 按照以前的谣言应该是gk107的SKU.

N13, 谁取得代号啊, 还213呢。

GT540M的马甲

就看到295.22了

独显基本马甲。集显很有兴趣。

N13就是NB

这次600M系列会有个超低功耗型号配合超级本，苹果macAIR也可能会用。

敢装在ARI里的低功耗额N卡，性能 能超过Ivy的集显么？

aibo

这个明显是重包装的fermi啊

GK现在还没有产品名称，所以N13P-GT的可能性比较大咯这驱动要更新了啊~~

以SNB移动版GPU表现来看，就算IVY移动版性能提升50%也一碟菜。

问题不是在于intel集显有多菜，而是在适用于AIR的低功耗独显的性能有多低

功耗不比以往苹果AIR用的320M高，性能达到目前GT540M水准即可
