Yesterday, 5th of January 2006, NVIDIA Corporation presented in Las Vegas, at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), three new graphics processing units (GPUs). The NVIDIA GeForce Go 7800, GeForce Go 7600, and GeForce Go 7400 GPUs bring cutting-edge 3D, high-definition, home theatre-quality video and advanced power management to the notebook market.

"Over the last year, NVIDIA has led the market for high performance GPUs for enthusiast notebooks," stated Dr. Jon Peddie, President of Tiburon, CA-based Jon Peddie Research, the market research firm that tracks GPU chips. "We are now seeing this performance per watt efficiency driving GeForce Go 7 GPUs deeper into all segments of the notebook market, especially with the latest platforms from Intel and AMD."

These three additional GeForce Go 7 Series GPUs are included in tier one OEM notebooks launching at or shortly after CES. NVIDIA GeForce Go 7-series GPUs were selected to drive the video and graphics in the first notebook computer to integrate the new HD DVD media standard, the Toshiba Qosmio audio-video notebook PC. Those new notebooks that have been launched will be on display at CES this year, from January 5-8 at the NVIDIA booth, in the South Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.

These new notebook GPUs leverage the superior performance per watt efficiency of the GeForce Go 7 Series architecture, delivering superior performance in graphics and high definition video support at their respective notebook segments: ■ The GeForce Go 7800 delivers enthusiast-level graphics and video performance for slimmer notebooks with significantly reduced power. ■ The GeForce Go 7600 provides the perfect balance of graphics and video performance for slim multimedia notebooks. ■ The GeForce Go 7400 creates the no-compromise mobile notebook, a small, thin, highly portable notebook, equipped with the latest graphics and high-definition video support.
