http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=38250 Check this out. Think its only a proof of concept maybe?

There were a few threads about that article, I for one dont fully trust the inquirer, and ihave my doubts about that article and its correctness. G80 requires too much power and too much to cool to fit in a laptop. I believe the first high end mobile DX10 gpu from NVidia will be based on G90 after they move to 65nm.

Yeah I don't trust the inquirer either, but theres like a 4 % chance that they're right. I think theres going to be a Go 8800 768 MB, and a 8600 512 MB. I don't think its gonna be 1 GB.

I still highly highly doubt there will be a G80 Go. A G81 (8600 i believe) has already been confirmed to my knowledge.

They may not be a "Go G80" But there may be a "G80."

There already is a G80, the desktop 8800 GTX.

Theres a desktop 7900 GTX, and theres a laptop 7900 GTX. It has the same name, but its different. I know theres a G80, I'm an ultra nerd, I go onto [H] and keep up on this stuff. I'm meaning like a laptop version of the G80. You know Symetric Property of Equality? d=desktop version l=laptop version 7900 GTX (d)= 7900 GTX (l) G80 (d)= G80 (l) Am I right? Yes not all laptop video cards have desktop counterparts and vice versa. But the 8800 GTX is/was a huge video card, very good performance + DX 10. Why not bring it to laptops?

G80 is the actual GPU. The Desktop 7900 GTX and the laptop 7900 GTX both share the exact same GPU, the G71.

There will need to be a significant die shrink to fit a GPU like that into a laptop, one that not only draws much less power, but also produces much less heat. Its not about wether or not they want to bring a DX10 GPU to a laptop, its just a matter of how and when. HOW = die shrink to 65nm at end of Q2. WHEN = end of Q2 after die shrink to 65nm. EDIT: Just want to add that it wouldnt be very wise to invest in trying to cram that chip in a laptop when they know they will be moving to a 30% smaller die very shortly.

my question is why shrink an already exsisting core, when you can develop one from scratch on the 65nm process to take advantages of the process instead of just shrinking down the clumsy bulky 90nm. i dunno, i dont know much about core architecture, but it seems with new sizes comes newer technologies so surely there is something they could bnefit by developing an all new core on the process.

Of course this is exactly what is going to happen. That's one of the reasons why we have been saying that there will be no mobile 8800; there may be a mobile 8900, or 9800, more likely.

As Pirx said, that is exactly why there most likely not be a mobile 8800 GTX/GTS/GT/GS whatever...no mobile G80 based card. G81 (89xx series) is on an 80nm process, due out in May last i read, and to my knowledge it is basically a G80 on an 80nm process, similar to what you mentioned. This *might* be enough for a mobile 8900 GPU, but i have my doubts, and that once they move to 65nm, they will likely produce a G90 (likely named 9800 GTX), which, like you said will be a new core from "scratch".

From what source did you read that the mobile G81 may be out in May? All the articles I've read so far speculated about the mobile 8800 due out around May.

G81 does not mean a G81 Go. The 89xx series cards are due out in May, they are based on 80nm process technology vs 90nm of G80. I said the 10nm die shrink *might* be enough to make a mobile G81, or an 8900 something Go.

Right now, there is no source to say when a high end mobile DX10 GPU will surface, only speculation and deduction from reading articles, and right now, best guess really is Q3 after the NVidia die shrink to 65nm. I suspect since ATIs R600 is already 65nm, they will have a mobile GPU out rather quickly after their initial launch, but i really dont know.

Here is the lastest sighting of the 8800go in a laptop

8800GTX/Enthusiast DX10 in SLI...yeah ok. No offense but that laptop might as well be a stovetop.

Never-the-less...if it is true i am very intrigued by the cooling solution they developed.

"Opening up 3DMark revealed that the notebook on display is using NVidia Go 7950GTX graphics, but according to Clevo this will change to 8800 in time."

So its not really DX10 in SLI after all...what a surprise..?

" but that it will come equipped with the DirectX 10 compatible 8800 card as soon as it is released. "

Too bad theres about a 3% chance it will be released...*

*Statisitcal calculations were done by me on the spot with no data to back up any of my claims, therefore making it entirely un-scientific.

No, it's not (a "sighting" of the 8800go). If you had read the article you would have seen that...

There isn't a single confirmation of an 8800Go or Go GTX in that article whatsoever.

In fact, I'm willing to chalk it up as a salesperson's/rep's possible intentional screwup. The Inquirer showed MSI MXM 8500 and 8600 modules - something tells me people are *assuming* there's going to be an 8800 and are saying their laptop is "ready" for it. MXM can't support ultra-high-end graphics modules.

Saying you're going to have the 8800 in your product gets more press than saying it'll use the 8600, and no one outside of these forums for the most part will remember or care when that comes to pass.

Yay to the built-in eSATA port great idea.

After all, with an eSATA in your Expresscard slot, where does the sound card go when they finally release one?
