NVIDIA announced its latest Quadro GPUs are now available in notebooks from Dell, HP, and Fujitsu:
Based on the NVIDIA(R) CUDA(TM) parallel computing architecture, these mobile graphics processing units (GPUs) are available to dramatically and effectively accelerate graphics performance in all of the new generation of Intel Core i7-based mobile workstations from Dell, Fujitsu Technology Solutions, HP, and Lenovo, so professionals don't have to sacrifice exceptional graphics performance for the flexibility of a mobile platform. From entry-level to high-end, starting with HP's new, 14.1-inch small form factor, and going up to Dell's new 17-inch powerhouse, NVIDIA is the only company to have its high-performance mobile graphics solutions included in all of these next-generation mobile workstations.
Certified for the most demanding CAD, DCC and visualization professional applications, the new NVIDIA Quadro FX mobile graphics solution lineup provides a power-efficient, rich experience for manufacturing, design, and video production users on the go and in the field, and is optimized for and supports professional applications using OpenGL, Shader Model, Microsoft DirectX, DirectCompute, and OpenCL standards. The complete line includes:
-- Quadro
FX 3800M:
Available in the Dell Precision M6500 (17-inch)
-- Quadro
FX 2800M:
Available in the Dell Precision M6500 (17-inch)
-- Quadro
FX 1800M:
Available in the HP EliteBook 8540w (15.6-inch)
-- Quadro FX 880M:
Available in the HP EliteBook 8540w (15.6-inch), Lenovo ThinkPad W510
(15.6-inch), and Fujitsu CELSIUS H700 (15.6-inch)
-- Quadro FX 380M:
Available in the HP EliteBook 8440w (14.1-inch)
All of these new solutions provide large, dedicated graphics frame buffers (up to 1GB), and superb color fidelity with 30-bit color accuracy delivering over 1 billion colors. These features enable precise, sharp images and designs, and support intensive, interactive visualization of complex assemblies or scenes.
NVIDIA CUDA parallel computing architecture, which combines high-performance graphics and high-performance computation, enables breakthrough performance in areas such as video encoding, image processing, and ray tracing.
NVIDIA 3D Vision(TM) support for professional stereoscopic viewing is also included in the new lineup, addressing the growing development of 3D capable visualization applications from companies such as Autodesk, Siemens and Agilent.
Additionally, with power consumption and efficiency always a critical issue for mobile workstation users, the new Quadro FX mobile lineup offers exceptional power efficiency via NVIDIA PowerMizer(R) intelligent power management technology, proactively balancing longer battery life without sacrificing graphics performance.
From entry-level to high-end, even more mobile workstations built on these Quadro FX mobile graphics solutions will be announced throughout 2010. Only one solution provides high-performance mobile graphics performance and the best user experience -- NVIDIA Quadro FX.
