NVIDIA today introduced the new GeForce GTX 480M GPU for Notebooks based on Fermi architecture. NVIDIA claims the 480M is the world’s fastest notebook GPU and is DirectX 11 done right for notebooks. Tessellation is the most important new feature for the DirectX 11 API, and the GeForce GTX 480M offers a dedicated Tessellation engine for up to 5x more performance than any other GPU.

Fermi based GeForce GTX 480M delivers nearly three times more NVIDIA CUDA cores over previous generation Notebook GPUs, which means users get unbelievably fast video transcoding, upscaling from standard definition to high definition and real-time movie clean-up with the click of a button.

GeForce GTX 480M also gives added features that no other GPU offers, including NVIDIA 3D Vision technology for an immersive gaming experience, NVIDIA PhysX technology that brings games to life with dynamic, interactive environments and NVIDIA Verde Notebook Drivers for the most up-to-date performance from your notebook.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480M features 352 CUDA cores, GDDR5 memory, 425MHz graphics clock, 850MHz processor clock, 1200MHz memory clock and 256-bit memory interface. Performance figures of the new GPU are 18.7 billions/sec texture fill rate, 76.8 GB/sec memory bandwidth and 897 gigaflops CUDA processing.

Clevo will introduce first system based on GeForce GTX 480M GPU and more system based on the new GPU should come to the market in June.
