    the 28nm kepler cards look interesting but "up to 384" shaders is not precise enough.

    i want to know what i am buying, and i don't like non-functional units!

    is it only the 660M that has 384 shaders?
    does even the 660M have all 384 shaders?

    Interesting just how many of those are still 40nm. I know that 28nm isn't mature yet, but I'd still have expected more of a push there on the mobile front.

    Do product numbers mean nothing anymore?

    I'm sure they do say that. But really.. if you want long battery life, you'll get a machine without a discrete GPU. You're not going to buy one of these things for high-end gaming or extreme parallel computation anyway.

    Yet their top end parts aren't Kepler at all?
