Insiders Talk About NVIDIA MXM

[H] Consumer is spotlighting the successes and failures of MXM, NVIDIA’s mobile socketed GPU initiative. We go behind the scenes and talk to reps from both NVIDIA and ATi and get the low down on just what happened to MXM.

The MXM initiative was to help improve productivity for integrators by cutting the costs of repairs. In that initiative, NVIDIA has succeeded. In the consumer market, it has utterly failed. Laptop owners are essentially no closer to being able to upgrade their own notebooks than they were over two years ago when the technology was first announced.
