nvidia_logoT&A: NVIDIA has unveiled the fastest notebook GPU in the market at CeBIT 2009 - the GeForce GTX 280M - which is able to perform 50% better than previous generation enthusiast notebook GPUs.

According to NVIDIA, the GeForce GTX 280M GPU is currently the world's fastest notebook GPU.

According to NVIDIA, the GeForce GTX 280M GPU is currently the world's fastest notebook GPU.

The line-up also includes the GeForce 260M GPU for enthusiast notebooks, and GeForce GTS 160M and 150M GPUs for high-performance, sleek notebooks. The GTX 200M series GPUs are built on 55-nanometer process based on the G92 GPU architecture. 

Basically, two NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280M GPUs can be paired (on NVIDIA SLI technology) to really pump up graphics performance.  The GTX 200M and GTS 100M series GPUs feature NVIDIA CUDA computing architecture, allowing software developers to compile and code algorithms for the GPU.

Vijay (HardwareZone.com): Kudos to NVIDIA for improving notebook graphics performance with newer GPUs for the performance notebook market, but we could really benefit from the newer GT200 based GPU architecture rather than grind the existing G92 core that has been extensively featured in three different generations of GPU models.
