Nvidia released the mobile graphics card MX 450 at the end of 2020, which is mainly for entry-level users, such as for office thin and light books, so that light and thin books can also play the most basic games. And now there is news that Nvidia plans to launch a new generation of MX graphics card, will use the latest ampere architecture, so as to achieve another improvement in graphics performance, it is reported that the next generation of MX graphics card will be called MX 550, the use of ampere architecture, in the specifications have been greatly improved, in addition to the performance is also quite good.
At present, a laptop exposed comes from Lenovo 375c, using Intel Core i7-1260P, using 12 cores and 16 threads, which should be the 12th generation Core processor, in addition, the graphics card is used is MX 550 graphics card, based on ampere architecture, so it has been greatly improved in specifications, such as streaming processors from MX450 to 2048, of course, ampere architecture and Pascal architecture are still relatively different, in addition to MX The 550 also uses GDDR6 memory to provide ample bandwidth.
In the OpenCL test, the performance of the MX 550 is about 115% of the MX 450, that is to say, the graphics performance is about 15% higher than the MX 450, it is expected that some mid-range 3A masterpieces can run smoothly, there will be no problems, of course, this test is OpenCL, if it is DX12 performance, it is not necessarily, it is expected that the release time of this processor will be in CES 2022, when NVIDIA should also officially announce the specific parameters and performance of the MX 550. It's likely that we'll see this newly built MX 550 graphics card on next year's notebook.
