Nvidia has been busy of late with the announcement recently of a new graphics chip for mobiles only 10 days ago, and today the unveiling of its latest GPU for notebook and laptop computers.

The Nvidia Quadro FX 3600M is the latest GPU from a company that already supplies to HP, Dell, Lenovo, Fujitsu Japan, and FSC among others.

"Design professionals, who rely on the high-performance and advanced features of Nvidia Quadro graphics in a desktop workstation, can also experience this same level of performance in a notebook workstation", explained Jeff Brown, general manager, Professional Solutions at Nvidia.

"With the new Nvidia Quadro FX 3600M GPU, the notebook becomes a powerful workstation, allowing professionals to work anywhere, anytime without sacrificing graphics quality or performance."

The GPU has already been integrated into the HP Compaq 8710w mobile workstation delivering features such as CUDA and Shader Model 4.0 technology.
