Exclusive | Full specs and first benchmarks of the NVIDIA GeForce MX330 and MX350 — NVIDIA clings-on to Pascal even in the third iteration

We get to hear that NVIDIA is once again performing a rebranding exercise with the MX330. The MX330 will have just a 0.8% higher clock speed for the 25W version (N17S-G3) compared to the MX250. Such a small uptick in clocks will be difficult to perceive in benchmarks, which makes the MX330 essentially a rebranded MX250.

Check out our dedicated GeForce MX250 page to get an idea of the kind of performance that can be expected from the MX330.

Alongside the MX330, NVIDIA will also be introducing the MX350 dGPU. From what we hear, the MX350 is based on the same GP107 Pascal chip as the GTX 1050. However, the MX350 will feature only a 64-bit memory bus and will operate at a lower TGP of 25W. As a result of this, the MX350 offers performance more in line with a GTX 960M than a GTX 1050 itself. 

Here's a quick comparison of preliminary MX350 benchmarks with other NVIDIA GPUs. 

Overall, we see that the MX350 is about 23% and 28% slower than the GTX 1050 in 3DMark Time Spy Graphics and Fire Strike Graphics, respectively. That being said, we also see that the MX350 is about 18% faster in Time Spy Graphics and 7% faster in Fire Strike Graphics than the GTX 960M.

Below is a summary of the specs of the MX330 and MX350 based on what we hear from NVIDIA sources:
