nVidia Announces MXM for Notebooks

Posted by simoniker on from the mmm dept.

Giant_Panda writes "NVIDIA just announced a new mobile graphics interface for PCI Express based notebooks (PR here). NVIDIA is calling the interface MXM (Mobile PCI eXpress Module), and they seem to have the support of the Taiwanese notebook ODMs on this one. HotHardware has a few pictures and details on the technology - it looks like MXM is a royalty-free standard too, so other mobile GPU manufactures like ATi may even make MXM modules.

    From The Register:

    "Nvidia said it had already won the backing of Far Eastern ODMs like Quanta, Wistron, FIC, Uniwill, Clevo, AOpen, Tatung, Arima, Asustek and Mitac, all of whom have said they will offer MXM-based notebooks. Since these ten already account for many of the world's name and no-name notebooks, MXM is likely to grow by stealth, becoming a de facto standard."
