Rumor: GTX 1070 gets more shaders but lower clock speed in laptops
Nvidia would activate more cudacores with the GP104 GPU of the laptop GTX 1070 than with the desktop cards. At the same time, the GPU would get a lower core clock speed. That can be concluded from a GPU-z screenshot. Such a screenshot also appeared from the GTX 1060 for laptops.
The GPU-z screenshot of the GTX 1070 for laptops appeared on Benchlife, which often releases correct information about upcoming hardware, although it remains a rumor. It is striking, for example, that the number of tmu’s indicated is 170, whereas this should be 128, notes Videocardz.
The specs further state that the GP104 variant contains 2048 cudacores, more than the GP104’s 1920 of the desktop cards. The clock speed would be 1443MHz on the laptop with boost to 1645MHz, compared to 1506MHz and 1683MHz respectively on the desktop. The amount of memory and the speed of the memory would have remained the same.
A GPU-z screenshot of the GTX 1060 for laptops has appeared via the Polish site Purepc. The GP106 GPU of this model would also get a lower clock speed, but the number of cudacores has remained the same compared to the desktop version. The GeForce line of laptops based on Pascal architecture are expected in August.
