    AMD almost certainly in a month, Nvidia is to be defined (anything from 1-3 months).

    Next month is when they're officially "launching" their currently-announced cards. If they announce cards then for mobile, it probably won't launch instantly. Then we'd need places to actually "get" them. Remember how it took a few weeks after 980M/970M announcement/launch came out before anybody actually got any?

    I'd expect them to be available for purchase mid-late summer. After Computex, E3, etc. all the "hype" events they can drown us in.

    Best guess then would be July or August. Sager told me that it takes about 2 months to offer the new cards once it's paper launched.

    I just can't wait for a confirmation on p170sm-a compatibility for polaris or pascal. I've lost my 880m and losing my 970m. If no new next gen cards are compatible will happily purchase a 980m.

    I doubt they will all launch at the same time, but I'd expect to see at least a few options by mid-August, in time for "back to school" laptop retail season

    The full range of laptops should be out before the end of the back-to-school season (i.e. in August). The first ones might come a bit earlier than that, possibly as soon as mid-late June, more likely in July.

    Because the clocks are lower and performance scaling in the leaked benches shows its basically still Skylake.
