At the top of NVIDIA’s GeForce 8M lineup is the 8600M GT. The GeForce 8600M GT is the only mobile DirectX 10 product to have 32 stream processors clocked at 950 MHz. NVIDIA clocks the GeForce 8600M GT clock at 475 MHz and pairs it with 1.4 GHz memory on a 128-bit memory interface. Notebook manufacturers are free to equip the GeForce 8600M GT with up to 512MB of video memory.
Slotting below the GeForce 8600M GT is the 8600M GS. The GeForce 8600M GS has half the stream processors as its GT counterpart. NVIDIA clocks the stream processors at 1.2 GHz to make up for having less shader power. The core clock is raised to 600 MHz as well. Memory remains the same – up to 512MB of 1.4 GHz memory on a 128-bit memory interface.
On the value-side of things is the GeForce 8400M lineup. The GeForce 8400M GT features the same 16 stream processors as the 8600M GS. However, the GeForce 8400M GT has lower 900 MHz shader, 450 MHz core and 1.2 GHz memory clocks. As with the GeForce 8600M GS, the 8400M GT can have up to 512MB of video memory on a 128-bit interface.
In the middle of the GeForce 8400M lineup is the 8400M GS with 16 stream processors. The 16 stream processors have a lower clock of 800 MHz. NVIDIA clocks the core at a slightly lower 400 MHz while memory clock is set at 600 MHz, as with the GT model. However, the GeForce 8400M GS can only have up to 256MB of video memory on a 64-bit interface.
At the very bottom of the new GeForce 8M lineup is the eight stream processors endowed GeForce 8400M G. This model is virtually identical to the GeForce 8400M GS except with half the shader power. Core clock remains at 400 MHz, as with the 800 MHz shader and 1.2 GHz memory clocks. Manufacturers are free to equip GeForce 8400M G with up to 256MB of video memory on its 64-bit memory interface.
