Nvidia have released five new GPU’s - The GeForce 9800M GTX, GeForce 9800M GTS, GeForce 9800 GT, GeForce 9700M GTS and GeForce 9700M GT The last two being the mid range consumer cards most likely to appear in new notebooks

The 9800M GTX and 9800M GTS both have 112 processing units, which is equivalent to the Nvidia 9800 GT GPU designed for desktop PCs. They feature have a 500MHz core frequency and operate at 1250MHz.

In addition, the two higher end cards will make use of Hybrid SLI technology, so they are able to run cooler and save battery power. There also will be PureVideo and Blu-ray support, along with MXM3.0, designed so the GPU can be upgraded later.

Toshiba is the first company to announce notebooks featuring the new NVidia GPUs, with the Toshiba Qosmio X305 powered by the 9M series.

Nvidia closed the deal with Ageia in February, and promised to include PhysX technology into GeForce GPU products as soon as it could. Analysts expected products to be rolled out sometime over the summer, and were accurate with their prediction.

Nvidia has had a steady control of the video game graphics card market, although AMD hopes its recent agreement with Havok will help the struggling ATI brand better compete in the future. AMD was forced to make a move with Intel-owned Havok after Nvidia purchased Ageia.

The Santa Clara, Calif.-based company plans to continue to roll out both mobile and desktop graphics gaming cards with Ageia technology throughout the remainder of the year.

I was just reading a Guardian UK newspaper article about the new possibilities opened up to software developers with GPU (Graphic Processor Unit) assisted computing. Basically what this is is that if you have a major brand graphics card in your PC or Mac (Nivdia or ATI), it is now possible to open up the GPU on the card to assist the computers actual CPU in doing intensive tasks.. So if your computer has a “Dual Core” CPU you could potentially have 102 cores to do tasks.. For 3D Modeling, Architecture and engineering design or game development, your out of box home PC could be come a formidable tool.
