Demand
for better graphics performance and programmability within the professional
notebook market continues to increase as animators, designers and engineers
work with larger 3D models, datasets and images. NVIDIA Corporation, the
worldwide leader in visual computing technologies, continues to address the
demand with the introduction of a new series of NVIDIA Quadro(R) FX mobile
GPUs, featuring an NVIDIA(R) CUDA(TM) Parallel Computing Processor. Leading
workstation manufacturers such as Dell, Fujitsu Siemens Computers, HP and
Lenovo are now offering the new series of Quadro FX mobile GPUs across a
wide range of professional notebook workstations.
Highlighting the flagship product of the series is the Quadro(R) FX
3700M, with 128 CUDA Parallel Computing Processor cores, which offers an
unprecedented 1 GB of dedicated graphics memory for graphics-performance
hungry industries such as oil and gas exploration, mechanical design and
digital content creation. Now, the power of a desktop workstation is
available in a compact, notebook configuration.
"Design professionals who rely on the performance and features of a
desktop workstation can now get this same level of performance in a
notebook," said Jeff Brown, general manager, Professional Solutions,
NVIDIA. "With the new Quadro FX 3700M visual computing solution, the
notebook becomes a powerful workstation, allowing professionals to work
anywhere, at any time, without sacrificing graphics quality or
performance."
Engineered to deliver high-performance visualization of large datasets
with extremely high image quality in an ISV-certified notebook platform,
these notebooks also feature:
- Up to 1 GB GDDR3 memory
- Up to 256-bit memory interface
- Up to 51.2 GBps graphic memory bandwidth
- OpenGL 2.1, Shader Model 4.0, and DirectX 10
- PowerMizer(R) 8.0 adaptive power management tools
Additionally, the Quadro FX 2700M GPU, with 48 CUDA Parallel Computing
Processor cores and 512 MB of GDDR3 memory, is an ideal graphics solution
for 17-inch notebook platforms targeting high-end design and
content-creation applications. The Quadro FX 1700M GPU with 32 CUDA
Parallel Computing Processor cores, the Quadro FX 770M GPU with 32 CUDA
Parallel Computing Processor cores, and the Quadro FX 370M GPU with 8 CUDA
Parallel Computing Processor cores, are designed for 15.4-inch and
14.1-inch notebooks, which help round out the new Intel Centrino II-based
platforms.
The NVIDIA CUDA Parallel Computing Processor
CUDA is parallel computing processor architecture, exposed through a
C-language environment and tool suite, in combination with high performance
visualization. It unleashes new capabilities to solve highly complex
challenges such as real-time ray tracing, video encoding, and interactive
volume rendering.
Leading Notebook Workstation Manufacturers Deliver Quadro Mobile
"Dell continues its market leadership by featuring NVIDIA's
cutting-edge Quadro FX mobile graphics solutions in its next-generation ISV
certified mobile workstations," stated Antonio Julio, director, Dell
Product Group. "NVIDIA is a key partner for Dell and has helped us answer
customer demand with our new Dell Precision M4400, M2400 and the 17"
concept that redefine performance and flexibility."
"Our new CELSIUS H Series mobile workstations are the culmination of an
extensive collaboration between our research and development, design and
quality assurance teams," said Wilhelm Geyer, director workstations at
Fujitsu Siemens Computers. "With the NVIDIA Quadro FX 770M we continue our
successful cooperation with the market leader in graphics accelerator
technology, and are able to raise mobile graphics performance to the next
level for the most demanding applications like computer-aided design and
computer-aided engineering."
"The HP EliteBook 8730w mobile workstation, with the new NVIDIA Quadro
FX 3700M GPU, is our most powerful mobile workstation to date," said Carol
Hess-Nickels, director of business notebook marketing, Personal Systems
Group, HP. "HP is delivering on creative professionals' most exacting
computing needs by enabling power users to take their highly tuned graphics
workstations with them wherever they go."
"Professionals today don't want to compromise on performance, graphics
capabilities and mobility," said Tom Ribble, director, worldwide ThinkPad
product marketing, Lenovo. "By integrating the NVIDIA Quadro FX 3700M
graphics solution, the new Lenovo ThinkPad W700 mobile workstation delivers
the ultimate graphics experience along with unparalleled performance and
innovation."
The complete line of NVIDIA Quadro FX notebook solutions is available
worldwide through leading notebook manufacturers and workstation system
integrators.
