The GPU sector is at an important meeting, however anyone who sleeps or doubts cannot afford it. The opponent to hit is undoubtedly NVIDIA, which suffers from constant beatings in all grades.
Huang's reaction to Renoir was not long in coming and the first data to compare with his current high-end cheap laptops is from Lenovo, will he be able to come in at a more affordable price. ?
NVIDIA GeForce MX 350: a way to relax rather than a real competitive solution
NVIDIA has a hard-to-resolve vote, so far its MX 250 was far from the graphics card still being sold as donuts, GTX 1050 and GTX 1050 Max-Q
Logically, your new graphics card should be a consistent performance jump, but you're worried that if that jump is too big compared to the current MX 250, you can end up on the GTX 1050 for laptops.
To this we have to add the fact that NVIDIA does not have a GTX 2050 for the low-end sports list, so the performance of the new MX 350 is available both from the bottom up and should be just short of the original solution. .
Mature from China talks about Lenovo, where they confirmed some of the technical features and measured performance compared to the MX 250, i7-1065G7 with Iris Plus and against the GTX 1050 Max-Q.
NVIDIA uses its last cartridge and has to move the tab
Details reveal that in both cases Spy Spy and Fire Strike the new MX 350 are a 16% faster than the previous MX 250, but still 20% faster than the GTX 1050 Max-Q. This is a very small margin, but it is enough.
The problem arises from the specification, since both the GTX 1050 Max-Q and MX 350 have 640 Shaders and very similar (unspecified) frequency, so where does this difference work? From the smallest bus to the second to the first (64 pieces vs 128 yards).
In addition, to be pressed on all frames and you have to introduce this MX 350, in multiplayer games like PUBG, Gta V, DOTA 2 or CS: GO this card now exceeds 60 FPS under 1080p, so it's possible that low-end laptops with this kind of graphics cards will stop making sense, because in the next generation of AMD and Intel these will be matching or closer to the data presented by the new MX 350 today.
What is the end of the NVIDIA niche market for cheap laptops? Apparently, unless hertz screens are so low in price that they are included in this list of products without any price increase for the final consumer, since then it would make no sense and would be consumed by competition.
