In addition to a glance at Fermi during CES 2010, Nvidia also used the opportunity to officially announce its new Geforce 300M series mobile chips, something that you'll probably see in at least some new notebooks on the market. Nvidia didn't make a big fuss out of it due to the fact that these "new" mobile GPUs are based on the older 200M series, and are thus just another rebrand.

Nvidia announced a total of seven GPUs stretching across the high performance, performance and mainstream segment. The high performance is taken by the GTS 360M and 350M, the performance has GT 335M, GT 330M and GT325M while the mainstream has 310M and the 305M GPUs. While AMD is quite confident in doing DirectX 11 on notebooks with discreete graphics, Nvidia is still stuck with DirectX 10.

The flagship of the new Geforce 300M mobile series, the GTS 360M is simply a tweaked 260M as it features the same 96 processing cores, same 128-bit memory interface and the same support for GDDR5 memory clocked up to 2000MHz. The only difference is that the 360M is capable of delivering 413 Gflops as opposed to the older 260M which is capable of 396 Gflops. The GTS 350 has the same 96 processing cores but is capable of delivering 360 Gflops.

The performance segment is filled with GT 335M, GT 330M and the GT 325M. The last two feature 48 processing cores, while the the only GPU that you can't directly compare to any other 200M series GPU, the GT 335M has 72 processing cores. The GT 335M has a 1210MHz processor clock and delivers 233 Gflops according to the specs at Nvidia's site. The last on the list are two GPUs in the mainstream segment, the Geforce 310M and 305M. These two feature 16 processing cores and are capable of 73 and 55 Gflops.

Nvidia is yet to fill the enthusiast segment and replace the Geforce GTX 280M and GTX 260M, but there is still hope that this place is reserved for GPUs based on Fermi architecture.

We are pretty sure that a lot of notebooks will end up with one of these 300M series GPUs, but considering the fact that AMD is doing quite well with its newly announced DirectX 11 mobile parts we aren't sure how many consumers will go for Nvidias in this market segment.
