The Tech Report
published a nice table that shows the main specifications of NVIDIA's new GeForce 9700M and GeForce 9800M series notebook GPUs.
No, that's not a typo. The GeForce 9800M GT actually has better specs than the 9800M GTS, pretty much defying the naming convention Nvidia usually applies to its desktop graphics cards.
At the top end of the new mobile GPU line, the GeForce 9800M GTX seems to have most in common with the desktop GeForce 8800 GT: both have 112 stream processors and 256-bit memory interfaces, while the 8800 GT has slightly higher memory bandwidth (57.6GB/s) and a 504 gigaFLOPS floating-point arithmetic rating. The 9800M GTS corresponds to the desktop GeForce 9600 GT in much the same way, with the same stream processor count and memory interface width, but lower memory bandwidth (51GB/s instead of 57.6GB/s) and a lower gigaFLOPS rating (240 instead of 312).
