Title: Full specs and first benchmarks of the NVIDIA GeForce MX330 and MX350 — NVIDIA clings-on to Pascal even in the third iteration
Post by: Redaktion on February 10, 2020, 11:00:59
We have obtained exclusive information and benchmarks about NVIDIA's latest entry-level dGPUs for laptops — the GeForce MX330 and MX350. While the MX330 is essentially a rebranded MX250, the MX350 is based on the same GP107 chip as the GTX 1050 albeit sporting just a 64-bit memory bus and a lower 25 W TDP.

How does it compare with MX150 in benchmarks?

MX330 and MX150 are more or less the same in benchmarks.

Very disappointing. The MX lineup is a real scam, a MX130 GPU should not be on par with a MX150, which is on par with a 5 year old GTX 850M.

MX330 should be on par with a GTX 1050 and MX 350 with 1050 Ti. But as it is, iGPUs will very soon be making the MX lineup obsolete.

Just wait for sometime for a tease that may change your opinion ;)

the new mx standard, mx350, is perfectly fine. they took a bigger chip and made it energy efficient.
the previous move, 150->250 was crap.
btw someone should ask lisa su where are navi radeons. 5300m? launched in november says amd website.
3 months after-zero(?) laptops with it. so what's the idea behind making a product without selling it?

3 generations of refresh is nothing, remember that the 910M was Fermi.

It appears the 5300M is the base dGPU for the MPB16 ($2400). It's pretty funny, or sad, depending on how one views it. It apparently is a binned and slightly higher bandwidth version of the 5300M, if that makes anyone feel batter.

It's a totally useless dick move.
The GPUs are about as fast as a 2014 GT730.
And Pascal architecture should be heading out, and Turing should be where we're heading.
I would never take any GPU with less than 1500 cusa cores (or equivalent) serious.
They should be thinking of doubling the core count on a 2080Ti.

This is a real shame. I was expecting more of a boost from the switch to the larger die, but I guess either the memory bandwidth cut or the clock speed drop has hobbled it right back down to overclocked-MX150 territory.

The MX150 was a bit of a pocket rocket on release - GT 950M performance in thin-and-light devices - but by this point it's two architectures behind (to become three this year?). It makes sense from a business perspective that they'd be happy continue peddling the same stuff, it's just a shame from a technology / performance PoV.
