Nvidia refreshing low to mainstream Geforce Mobility lineup with new chips and GDDR5 memory support

[LoadsaMoney]

The new chips will arrive in the first few months of 2016 and will be more efficient revisions of the same chips. The codenames are N16V-GMR, N16S-GMR and N16S-GTR respectively for the 920MX, 930MX and 940MX.
It’s worth adding that even though we won’t be seeing an increase in core count or a different architecture the inclusion of GDDR5 support will result in significantly increased performance. This can be as high as ~20% in some cases. Note for eg that the GDDR5 version of the current Geforce 940M in the Surface Book can make as much as a ~20% difference compared to its DDR3 version.

So if this is correct, it would point to NVidia not releasing a smaller Pascal earlier in the new year.

Well this is the super tiny chip, the new process is more expensive per area and the old ones will have plenty of capacity so yes I would be very surprised to see it move over quickly.

However they have to contend with intel IGPs getting stronger.
