NVIDIA outs new mobile GPU line, boasts 'every leading notebook manufacturer' support

In NVIDIA’s ongoing efforts to monopolize the technical-sounding graphics card market, the California-based components manufacturer today announced a fresh mobile line of GPUs aimed at notebook computing. That’s five new GPUs in total, with the GeForce GT 720M and 735M making up the “mainstream” segment, while the GT 740M, 745M, and 750M make up the “performance” portion of the lineup. All five cards include NVIDIA’s “GPU Boost 2.0” tech, which allows the GPU to alter its clock speed on-the-fly for the sake of efficiency — although this is mainly a software-level upgrade over the first iteration of Boost, and it’s still the same familiar Kepler architecture under the hood. It won’t be too long before we start seeing the newest NVIDIA mobile GPUs in notebooks at retail, as the PR says they’ll be in notebooks from “every leading manufacturer” in the coming months.
