VR-Zone spotted a string in the newest beta drivers from NVIDIA listing two new models of GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce 610M and GT 630M. From other rumours that we have collected from a variety of sources around the web we are fairly certain that these chips will be based on GK107, the low power version of the chip everyone wants to see, the GK100. While we are used to seeing both AMD and Intel to lead with mid to low range chips to simultaneously start off a new process size and chip family, NVIDIA doing so raises some eyebrows. NVIDIA’s mobile graphics chips have to compete directly with the graphics portion of AMD and Intel’s APUs and do so in a market where like it or not, you have already paid for the GPU portion of your processor. There will not only have to be an increase in performance, it will also have to justify the extra investment. We shall see what the final answer is early in 2012.
"In the latest unreleased 285 BETA drivers, the expected GeForce 600 branding has surfaced. The marketing names leaked are NVIDIA GeForce 610M and NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M. The GeForce 610M is likely to be an entry level GPU while the GeForce GT 630M could very well be a GK107 SKU."

Hopefully Ryan will do a video of him benchmarking these new laptop when they come out! hint hint
I think its that their so far
I think its that their so far behind that they had to push somethin out and the only thing they could sqeeeze (water from a rock) was a low end mobile GPU/s
