With GeForce 9M, NVIDIA is bringing features like HybridPower and GeForce Boost, two features previously available on desktop PCs, to notebooks. These features are designed to use the minimum amount of capability when simple tasks are performed, or supply the maximum performance, in intense applications. Users don’t have to choose amoung performance and battery life – they simply have to pay a little additional to get both and that’s value, right?

That’s not all, these new GPUs are faster than their older siblings, thanks to continued work on the Geforce

9 architecture. NVIDIA claims an improvement of (up to) 40%, thanks to more stream processors (“cores”) and higher clocks, but I’ll recommend to look at application benchmarks to see whether the gains covers your specific usage pattern. All in all, that looks like a good update and considering it uses the MXM 3.0 module, you can expect to see that line-up adopted quickly.
