The GeForce GT 540M is a new mobile graphics card just announced by Nvidia. This graphics card is based on the GF108 GPU. This GT 540M comes with 96 CUDA cores, a 672 MHz core, and 1.344 GHz shaders. The card can handle up to 1.5GB GDDR5 on a 128-bit bus and clocked at 3.6 GHz. You can expect to see it released worldwide in January, 2011.

In comparison, the current leading mobile graphics card from Nvidia is the GTX 480M. The GTX 480M comes with 352 CUDA cores, a 850 MHz core, and 2.4 GHz shaders. The card can handle up to 2.0 GB GDDR5 on a 256-bit bus and clocked at 2.4 GHz. Therefore do not expect the new 540M to be anywhere as powerful as the GTX 480M, but then again, it will likely give decent performance with much longer life than the 480M. Also, the 540M will likely replace the 435M graphics card. There is some expectation for a GTX 580M will be forthcoming as well. You can expect it to replace the 480M.
