ATI FirePro M5800 coming soon

Posted on Tuesday, February 02 2010 @ 0:01 CET by Thomas De Maesschalck

Engadget reports ATI's FirePro M5800 showed up in a support manual from HP.

All we know is a name at this point, and that it'll be an option in HP's (formerly NVIDIA exclusive) EliteBook 8540w, but HP Fansite goes on to speculate that it'll be based on the ATI Mobility Radeon 5800 series (the numbers certainly jive) and that it will have 1GB of memory.

45nm DX11 75w all mobile and all AMD.

So where is Nvidia's response? 2011???

Before you believe any Nvidia press releases, remember that Fermi (Nvidia DX11) is NOT able to be made into a mobile, because it burns too much power. And almost half a year has passed with AMD DX11 desktop parts on the market. Nvidia is not likely able to produce anything DX11 on the notebook form, and they know it.
