According to a new leak, NVIDIA plans to replace its GeForce GTX 950M and GeForce GTX 960M with the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and GeForce GTX 1060 video cards. Last year NVIDIA dropped the "M" postfix with the launch of the GeForce GTX 980 for laptops and now the company seems to be planning to expand this to the mid-range and entry-level cards. The reasoning here is that the difference between the performance of the laptop and desktop parts is so small that there's no need for the "M" postfix.
These two cards are expected in August, together with the mobile GeForce GTX 1080 and 1070.
So right we are aware of four mobile GeForce 10 parts:
GeForce GTX 1080 for notebooks, GP104, 8GB GDDR5 256-bit
GeForce GTX 1070 for notebooks, GP104, 8GB GDDR5 256-bit
GeForce GTX 1060 for notebooks, GP106, 6GB GDDR5 192-bit
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti for notebooks, GP10?, 4GB GDDR5 128-bit
All these cards would launch somewhere around early August.
