Meh, this is bullshit. NVIDIA laptop GPUs were always the "same chip". Each "chip" in NVIDIA can be floorswept differently, with parts lasered off and its operating clock range adjusted. This is why the 1080 and the 1070 is the "same chip"--GP104. Previous mobile chips were actually the "same chip" as the desktop ones, except they lasered more off and reduced the clocks even more, sometimes reduced the clocks a lot and lasered less to make the performance better by cramming more hardware. They just dropped the M thing to show that "oh look, we've come this far!" but in reality, none of their policy actually changed--just floorsweep differently to have less TDP and hopefully it's close enough to desktop tier perf. edit: what they are, are different SKUs of the "same chip". edit again: I'm not saying this isn't any small achievement, Pascal has brought a ton of improvements to the design. I'm just saying it's a marketing move that I expect the HN crowd to look through.
