    Rumour is just rumour, impossible is simply impossible, unless of course if the 480M is yet another G92.

    It's not a G92 and the 480M is not coming any time soon. The next thing you are going to get from Nvidia is the 380M in May-June. Which should come close to the Mobility 5870 in terms of performance, just that it will only have DX 10.1 .

    The 480M will come out eventually, but it will take a while.

    So when 480M does come then will it be a rebranded 380M? :mask:

    Based on what I know, this shouldn't happen. The 480M should be based on Fermi architecture.

    Fermi hasnt even hit the desktop market, I would be VERY suprised to see a fermi chip in your standard laptop before fall.

    some laptop manufacturers that build graphics workstations with desktop parts MAY have something on the go but with the power consumption I am reading thats even iffy.

    By hit do you mean made available ? I think the desktop expected Fermi date is the 26th of March. I dont know if thats release date or sale date, im going to go with release.

    As for the mobile version that WAY off. Dont count on it this year.

    It was probably the 380M, and Charlie just got it wrong, unsurprisingly.

    And lol at anyone who thinks it will be a G92.

    Even Clevo only use up to desktop CPU, none is daring enough to put a desktop graphics card in a laptop yet.

    no we'll call it octi-tron like K-Tron's monsterous contraption... only thing would that GPU powerwise , it would own octi-tron.

    And about cooling, a 18.4" will be required to hold the cooling system for such a big chip! It should idle at around 55-65C and max temp ~95-100C. Bloody hell!

    I see the Sager NP8850 (Clevo W880CU) is a 17.3". I wonder how hot this thing would be!
