Nvidia says that the new GPUs include a new unified architecture that delivers up to 2x the performance of previous generation GPUs.
PureVideo HD video processing engine is available for playback of HD DVD and Blu-ray video. Nvidia said that the new video-processing engine performs 100% of the H.264 HD video decoding, freeing the CPU for other tasks and significantly reducing power consumption, heat and noise. In addition, NVIDIA PowerMizer technology offers a longer battery life.
The new NVIDIA 8M Series GPUs are available in the GeForce 8600M and GeForce 8400M models. |
