Laptop Kepler

So I have never been a fan of laptop gaming. Even as a college student traveling to and from my home it was always so pricey that i could never justify it. But then i saw that the GT 640m is going to be a scaled down version of a GTX 460, and that it can be placed in ultrabooks and still run (presumably) cool enough. Makes the Razer Blade sound even dumber now, as the new acer ultrabook will have better graphics.

"That GPU is the GeForce GT 640M, and it's a 28nm part with 384 cores running at up to 625Mhz each, and a 128-bit memory interface running at up to 64GB / sec, all of which adds up to a theoretical fill rate of 20 billion textures per second, according to Nvidia. That doesn't mean much out of context, to be sure, but it sounds like it'd fit neatly between the existing GT 555M and GTX 560M, neither of which you'd dream of putting in an ultrabook due to the power requirements."

That's also a positive sign for Kepler overall in my opinion.
 
Wow that's incredible! A mobile GPU with the ability to run BF3 on ultra is insane. This just wets my appetite for Kepler a little more, i know it's only a mobile chip so it won't really effect me and the majority of people on here, but it's still awesome nonetheless.

Not to mention that it is a mid to low end mobile GPU.
 
That sounds awesome, but there's no mention of frame rates so I'm guessing 0 - 10 fps on ultra
