NVIDIA has unveiled 5 new examples of the GeForce 200M series today, for all your visual computing needs on the go. For the first time for NVIDIA, the new parts will be DirectX 10.1 compatible, and some will feature GDDR5 memory.

The new GPU's will take up the middle-of-the-road, starting with the lowly G210M with only 16 processing cores, and going up to the GTS 260M, which offers more gaming horsepower with 96 processing cores (now referred to by NVIDIA as "CUDA Processing Cores").

Like their bigger brother desktop parts, the GeForce 200M supports PureVideo hi-definition video processing, PhysX support, CUDA support, and is ready for Windows 7. NVIDIA has also recently increased their resources for their notebook driver team, and have begun releasing notebook Forceware drivers with a greater regularity than before.

NVIDIA has also done some tweaking and optimizing with these new GPUs, and claim that the new GTS260M is almost as quick as the GTX 260M, even with less shader processors and a lower clock speed. Because of these optimizations, NVIDIA also claims that the new GPUs use power more efficiently, leading to less battery drain for your laptop.
