    Nevermind found out that it is Kepler. How much more power efficient and faster will the Maxwell GTX 870mx be? Would that get much more battery life?

    There isn't a Maxwell 870M. The fastest Maxwell as of now is a soldered 860M. The MXM 860M version is a Kelpar.

    The current 870M is keppler.. A maxwell one will probably be more faster and power efficient if looking at the 860M maxwell.. How much more? We can't really say as it depends on a lot more things then just the GPU...
