PERFORMANCE LEADERSHIP TO MAINSTREAM NOTEBOOK MARKET
New GeForce4 460
Go is First to Deliver Both Industry Leading Performance and Power Management
LONDON - OCTOBER
17, 2002 - NVIDIA Corporation (Nasdaq: NVDA), the worldwide leader in visual
processing solutions, today announced the introduction of the NVIDIA®
GeForce(tm)4 460 Go, NVIDIA's most powerful mobile graphics processing unit (GPU)
with the best performance per watt metric of all mobile GPUs*. The GeForce4 460
Go is perfectly suited for the mainstream performance and thin and light
notebooks - eliminating the consumer dilemma of choosing performance over the
convenience of a thin and light form factor.
"NVIDIA has been
consistent in delivering innovative, quality solutions to the mobile market,"
said J. Gerry Purdy, Ph.D., Principal Analyst, MobileTrax. "With the GeForce4
460 Go, NVIDIA has developed a GPU which balances fantastic performance with
power conservation concerns - once again proving their technology leadership."
The GeForce4 460
Go, delivering the industry's best performance per watt for the mainstream
notebook market, is the industry's most feature-rich GPU. With a
high-performance 3D engine, the GeForce4 460 Go features a revolutionary core of
integrated technologies including NVIDIA's PowerMizer(tm) technology for
advanced power saving; a dedicated video processing engine for the industry's
best DVD and video playback and an ultra-efficient memory architecture for fast
graphics performance.
"As the demand for
high-performance notebooks increases, the ability to balance power concerns with
outstanding performance is a key differentiating factor for mobile users," said
Sunder Velamuri, senior director of mobile product management, NVIDIA. "The
GeForce4 460 Go delivers the best performance per watt in the industry and
provides all the functionality required for the most demanding work and play
applications."
NVIDIA's
PowerMizer technology allows the Geforce4 Go to dynamically adapt to changing
computing environments and controls power consumption for the entire platform.
PowerMizer's support for dynamic frequency and voltage scaling minimises power
consumption to maximise overall battery life. Unlike existing power management
schemes, PowerMizer offers an elegant balance between GPU and CPU operations for
significant system level power savings while still providing an excellent user
experience.
Delivering awesome
performance, the GeForce4 460 Go is now available in the Toshiba Satellite
5205-S703 notebook from the Computer Systems Group (CSG) of Toshiba America
Information Systems, Inc.
