NVIDIA reveals upcoming series 300 Mobile GPUs

Guru3d has posted an article describing the upcoming series 300 Mobile GPUs from NVidia. Nvidia will be releasing the 360M and the 350M, both with 96 processor cores. They will be capable of PhysX calculations, and playing some games up to 1920×1080. However, they will not be the most powerful mobile solutions from Nvidia. That will still remain the sole purview of the 280M with 128 cores, and the 260M with 112 cores. Following in their wake are the mide-range to low-end parts: the 335M (72 cores), the 330M/325M (48 cores), and the 310M/305M (16 cores). Also, before you get too excited, you need to read this quote from their article.

None of the seven new GeForce 300M GPUs are based on the upcoming Fermi architecture, it’s kinda embarrassing for NVIDIA that these chips are still limited to DirectX 10 while ATI will soon unveil the first notebook GPUs with DirectX 11 support.
