NVIDIA GeForce 8800M GTS

The Nvidia GeForce 8800M GTS (sometimes also called nVidia GeForce Go 8800M) is based upon the desktop G92 chip and is a reduced (64 versus 96 Unified Shaders) 9800M GTX chip for DirectX 10 from Nvidia.
A particularity of the GeForce 8800M GTS are the "Unified Shaders". There don't exist any more so called Stream processors but 64 so called Stream processors perform the graphic work (which was done by pixel and vertex Shaders, up to now). Further, the Shader units are higher clocked than the chip (1250 MHz versus 800 MHz).
The performance of the 8800M GTS should be much higher than with the 8700M GT because of the 256 bit wide memory bus and the high amount of Unified Shaders. Games of 2007 should run fluently with high details with the exception of Crysis and World in Conflict that run in medium details. Versions with a memory equipment of 256 MB and 512 MB GDDR3 memory are available. In 2010 the chip performs on a level with the 40nm Nvidia Geforce GTS 250M.
The current consumption and the waste heat probably will be higher than with 8700M GT and therefore the chip will be implemented only in big and heavy latops (as with the predecessor 7959 GTX).
