The 9M series of graphics chips has started to populate the new notebooks

Graphics card manufacturer has listed the complete specifications of the upcoming GeForce 9500M GS and GeForce 9300M G mainstream discrete video cards for notebooks. Despite the fact that the company

has not officially announced the next-generation mobile graphics chips, its website lists all the necessary details regarding the new mobile hits.

At the moment of writing, Nvidia has published brief specifications for the 9300M G series, as well as for the 9500M GS notebook graphics. At the bottom end, users will find a chip with 16 stream processors, a core clock of 400 MHz and a memory clock of 600 MHz. The 9300m G chip can work with a limited amount of 256 MB of memory. The mid-range offering is comprised of graphics with 32 stream processors, a 475 core clock and a 700 memory clock with up to 512 MB of buffer.

According to the published specifications posted on the site, the 9500M GS GPU is identical to the current 8600M GT, as they both feature 32 stream processors and an 128-bit memory interface. Moreover, the 9300M G graphics has the same specifications as the 64-bit GeForce 8400M GS chips with 16 stream processors.

Nvidia's GeForce 9500M GS and 9300M G chips are similar to the ones in the 8M series, and offer full compatibility with DirectX 10.0-based games. Moreover, they both incorporate the Nvidia PureVideo HD engine for hardware decoding of high definition movie content, that will take the additional workload of decoding video streams from the system CPU. The new additions in the mobile chips also come with Nvidia's PowerMizer technology that intelligently adjusts the notebooks' graphics performance in order to preserve the battery life, when the notebook is not plugged in.

There is no additional information regarding the notebooks that will ship with the new graphics solutions, but Asus has just announced two notebooks integrating these chips. The U6S notebook model replaces the 8400M with the 9300M G chips, while the M51SN 15.4 notebook comes with a factory-default 9500M GS GPU. Rumor has it that other notebooks to come with Nvidia's new graphics chips will be the Asus X55Sv and U3Sg laptop PCs.
