14 DAY TRIAL // As you have probably heard - or even read in some of our previous posts - HP, Lenovo and Dell have recently announced the release of a number of business-oriented notebooks. Some of these have one thing in common, namely that they come equipped with an NVIDIA Quadro FX mobile GPU. On that note, the Santa-Clara based chip manufacturer released yesterday a new series of Quadro FX mobile GPUs, featuring the company's CUDA Parallel Computing Processor Technology.
Despite the fact that NVIDIA's mobile GPU business has certainly seen better days, the reported issues haven't stopped the company from introducing a number of new products, specifically designed to meet the requirements of today's portable computer users. Additionally, the company also announced that leading workstation manufacturers, including Dell, Fujitsu-Siemens Computers, HP and Lenovo, are now offering the new series of Quadro FX mobile GPUs for several of their professional notebook workstations.
The company's new flagship model is the Quadro FX 3700M, which sports 128 CUDA Parallel Computing Processor cores and offers 1GB of dedicated graphics memory for intensive graphics-performance.
"Design professionals who rely on the performance and features of a desktop workstation can now get this same level of performance in a notebook," said Jeff Brown, general manager, Professional Solutions, NVIDIA. "With the new Quadro FX 3700M visual computing solution, the notebook becomes a powerful workstation, allowing professionals to work anywhere, at any time, without sacrificing graphics quality or performance."
Besides the high-performance FX 3700M, the green company has also introduced a number of other mobile GPUs, including the Quadro FX 2700M GPU, with 48 CUDA Parallel Computing Processor cores and 512 MB of GDDR3 memory; the Quadro FX 1700M GPU with 32 CUDA Parallel Computing Processor cores; the Quadro FX 770M GPU with 32 CUDA Parallel Computing Processor cores, and the Quadro FX 370M GPU with 8 CUDA Parallel Computing Processor cores. The FX 2700M has been designed for 17-inch notebooks targeting high-end design and content-creation applications, while the other three GPUs are meant for 15.4-inch and 14.1-inch notebooks.
