    Can't see many OEMs using the GDDR5 versions, sadly. That end of the market is so cost sensitive; which is frustrating, given how much faster many cards at this level are with GDDR5. They really should give the GDDR5 versions a different name: if the 940M was the DDR3 version, and the 940MX the GDDR5 version, a) it'd be easier for consunmers to see what they were buying, and b) it'd give the OEMs a clear marketing reason for charging more for the MX versions!

    As it is, none of these mobile GPUs - even the GDDR5 versions - will be faster than a recent AMD A10-series APU with decent DDR3 memory, and they're likely to end up paired with low end i3 U-series processors, so there's absolutely no driver for laptop manufacturers to put the more expensive GDDR5 version in their devices. In fact, Intel's kind of doing nvidia a favour by not improving the IGP in its low end chips too much - that's the only reason there's any kind of market for these...

    I hope that we see more of these low end GPUs in some Windows tablets/hybrids. Would like a tablet with decent enough graphics to play some of my games but not too expensive.

    the intel Iris-Pro project is a far better idea for laptop fab labs. Iris still beats some GDDR5 powered Maxwell Cuda cores at a cheaper price.

    I really wish DDR3-based graphics cards would just die off and leave only GDDR5/GDDR5X or HBM/HBM2 offerings going forward, with GDDR5 being the only current option for most until the next round of product updates.
