Awww, it's so tiny 
I wonder if they can carry the same amount power efficiency throughout the whole range of Maxwell? Would be good to see a high end card that is about as efficient as a mid range card. Only thing is we might end up with a Ivy bridge/Haswell situation where once you overclock them the heat will go up quite a bit.
AMD have got some catching up to do power efficiency wise if the high end Maxwell cards are just as efficient as this.

I may have to get one of these for an HTPC build

Hopefully we'll be seeing very linear power gains when scaling maxwell up, would be massive for nvidia as i know the red side of things are looking toasty and power hungry.
17% less CUDA cores, 38% less TAUs and less power from the wall whilst being around 20% faster than a 650ti on average is kinda epic.
Around 40w less than a 265, but the 265 packs more of a punch. I've got a feeling most gamers will be looking at the 265, if you can actually get one that is.
We all know that AMD's price's on paper are very different in reality

Linustechtips also covered the Asus version of the card -
Actually outputs more frames as well due to better power delivery -

I think all of the higher cards will come out as the 8XX series and then this will be just be kicked down a rung to the 850 or 840 and sold exactly as it is, possibly with a clock tweak like we have seen before with the refresh lines. If they were to start bringing out 7XXM's they wouldn't be able to differentiate them from the mobile gpu's.

AMD are going to badly if they can't stop retailers being greedy and putting prices up on the new 265, which is basicallly the same performance as this. its supposed to cost £100.Actually outputs more frames as well due to better power delivery -
well, i don't know how much of a difference the power consumption will make but after a year or two i am pretty sure the 750ti would pay off anyways.
well, not really my territory, but if someone asked for a ~500$ build this is pretty interesting.

Well, looking at the snapshot of the card it looks like it's possible to attach a powerconnector to the topright side (6 pin), which in turn would make this card much more viable to overclock.
I know the powerconsumption was the big issue (this card draws alot less), but with possibly a simple modification you could get so much more out of this relatively cheap card.

Just adding power wont make any difference dude sadly

I was just looking at it from my 'Artificial Stupidity'point of view 
I based my reply on a sentence in your conclusion:
Would be good if there would be other cards based on the same PCB structure which do have a extra power connector (by then you can see or know if it's possible at all to mod a low cost card to high end specs )

So I just figured, slap on a powerconnector, and crank up the juice

Got to watch the review when I get home.
Based on what I've seen so far, price-wise you'd probably be better off you picked up a similarly priced Radeon like the new R7 265 instead. Although I'd probably opt for one of these myself given Nvidia's Linux drivers.
Nvidia have done a great job with the power side of things. It doesn't matter much on the desktop (at least not for me), but it puts them in a great place when it comes to mobile.

Imagine a 4 times bigger chip with almost the same efficiency... il would beat a 780Ti with ~80W less power draw even if it was on a 28nm manufacturing process...
I think nVidia is now able to make the 8xx series like the 6xx series, low power consumption vs AMD and then release a 9xx gen similar to 7xx, bigger chips developed earlier for professional GPUs and rebranded. And still win the battle

I notice that this card doesn't have a SLI connector.
Does that mean that Maxwell cards of the future won't need one? That'll be good news. It could also mean that Nvidia don't want people to SLI the 750ti in case they trounce something further up the food chain at a much lower cost. Shame Tom didn't have two of these to try!

Concerning Tom's speculations in the video about why they started from the lower end this time I just wanted to say that it's because from now (Maxwell) every new architecture will be developed with mobile in mind first (i.e. tablet gpus) and then desktop. That's the reason it's all about power efficiency . It's not the end of powerful desktop gpus though.

I find its lack of an SLI finger disturbing...
