The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.
Yeah, sorry... old news... the 560m has the same core count as the 460m, same memory interface, only higher clocks... seems to be a higher binned 460m, nothing more.
I hope they don't release more refreshments of old cards, I prefer new technolgy, but unfortunately they probably will. It's cheaper and uses the same manufacturing process.
What I'm really looking forward to is the next die shrink.
I don't get why everyone still seems so surprised, or rather disappointed, when AMD or NVidia release "new" cards that are nothing more than updated versions of the older models. This has been going on for years and years, why would it suddenly change? What's the big deal that it's not new technology if it performs > 10% faster than the old card? Sure, it's not worth it if you have a 460m now, but for everyone else it's still better than the outgoing tech.
Some of you I think are expecting way too much (read: being unrealistic) if you think these companies can refresh GPU architecture for all models with each generation.
Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
