Two models of NVIDIA MX150 graphics cards have been identified, in two laptops from different manufacturers, with different working frequencies and TDP.
One of the problems of laptops is the graphics cards, which are not usually the most powerful and usually generate problems in terms of size of the equipment, because heatsinks capable of dissipating heat must be implemented. NVIDIA has developed the NVIDIA MX150 GPUs, which have been developed to solve these problems. Apparently, the company would be sending two types of MX150, which differ between them in performance, according to the specialized media Notebookcheck.
The differences of these solutions would be easily identified. Two shots taken with the GPU-Z of the ASUS Zenbook and Lenovo IdeaPad 320S Ultrabook laptops show the difference between them. As seen in the name of the GPU, we see how the ASUS model ID is 10DE 1D10, while that of the Lenovo computer is 10DE 1D12. The media specialized in laptops claims to have identified the 1D12 model in 13 ”ultrabooks, such as the HP Envy 13, ASUS Zenbook 13 and Xiaomi Mi Notebook.
Apparently, there are no differences in terms of the amount of memory and CUDA Cores of both models, but the differences are the working frequencies. The 1D10 has a base frequency of 1469MHz, a Boost mode of 1532MHz and the memories are Samsung working at 1502MHz, while in the 1D12 model, the base frequency is 937MHz, the Boost mode takes it to 1038MHz and the Hynix memories work at 1253MHz. The TDP also varies, as the TDP of the 1D10 is 25W, while the TDP of the 1D12 is 10W.
It is curious to see how the frequency data and the TDP of the 1D12 are very similar to the Max-Q graphics solutions, which allows the company's powerful graphics to be implemented in compact computers, by reducing power and the adjustment of the frequencies through firmware. NVIDIA does make a difference in these cases, but in the case of the two MX150s, no data on the differences would be identified.
We must emphasize that NVIDIA does say on its page that the MX150 will vary depending on the OEM and that the data should be consulted on the manufacturers' pages to know the specifications of the equipment.
