Nvidia GeForce MX350 and MX330 Mobile GRAPHICS CARDS


Nvidia has quietly launched the GeForce MX350 and MX330. The new mobile graphics cards are here to replace their respective MX200-series counterparts that debuted just one year ago. The new Turing-powered MX graphics cards should land in the second half of this year.

The GeForce MX350 is based on Nvidia's GP107 die from the Pascal days. This is the same silicon hidden inside the GTX 1050 and GTX 1050 Ti. In the MX350's case, it only comes with 640 CUDA cores though, whereas the GTX 1050 has 640 (2GB) or 768 (3GB) and the 1050 Ti has 768.

The GeForce MX350 and GeForce GTX 1050 might have similar dies and can have the same CUDA core count, but there should be a sizable performance gap between them. The GeForce MX350 sports 32 TMUs (texture mapping units), 16 ROPs (render output units) and a 64-bit memory bus. However, the GeForce GTX 1050 flexes 40 TMUs, 32 ROPs and a 128-bit memory interface. Not to mention that the GTX 1050 has a 75W TDP, which gives it more breathing room.
