NVIDIA Announces Six New Quadro Mobile GPUs

NVIDIA announced a new line up of Quadro Mobile GPUs based on the Maxwell GPU architecture. Launching today, the NVIDIA Quadro M5000M, M4000M, M3000M, M2000M, M1000M and M600M mobile GPUs offer a top to bottom offering giving those with mobile workstations the power they need to run complex, resource-intensive applications. NVIDIA says that the new GPUs offer up to 2x more performance than the previous Kepler mobile GPUs with greater energy efficiency and up to 8GB of GDDR5 memory.

The NVIDIA Quadro M5000M is the flagship mobile Quadro GPU and has 1,536 CUDA Parallel Processor Cores and 8GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit that is good for 160 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The DirectX 12 Hardware Feature Level 12_1 and OpenGL 4.5 supporting GPU has a maximum power consumption rating of 100W. The table above gives you an idea of what graphics solution you’ll see in 15.6-inch and 17.3-inch notebook solutions and many of the key differentiating GPU features. NVIDIA expects that the new mobile GPUs announced today will be seen in notebooks throughout the rest of the year. NVIDIA specifically noted that these GPUs would be coming to the Dell Precision 15 5000 Series, and the Dell Precision 15 and 17 7000 series, the HP ZBook workstations and the Lenovo ThinkPad P50 and P70.
