In china, all model for Y470 are with GT550M. The new model Y470 just upgrade to i7-2670QM in china, GT550M remain the same. Since Y470 imported from China, we should get the same.

@ [P.F] T.J
Y480, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT640M LE (Fermi)@2999[JBL] *upcoming
Suggest to details the GT640M as in red to avoid buyer trap by the rebranding tactic, as so many version of GT640M.

The correct model is V3-571G instead of M3-571G as quoted below:

Pls also update the Budget gaming Laptop for Acer V3-571G.

Acer M3 should be using the kepler GT640M as per the benchmark in notebookcheck.

Acer V3-571G still not out yet. In china, it will pair with GT630M. Just wonder we will get GT630M or GT640M?
Hopefully it will pair with kepler GT640M.

Since AMD and Nvidia are rebranding some of their old GPU to 7XXX or 6XX, suggest to state the new GPU as belows to avoid user trap in their rebranding tactic.

Nvidia new Kepler gpu, GT640M LE(kepler), GT640M, GT650M, GTX660M
AMD new GCN gpu, HD77xx upward.

Its seem that majority OEM (incl. HP, ASUS, Lenovo, Samsung, Hasee,etc.) are lauching their IVB product with GT650M in China. Currently, TSMC are not able to cope up with the huge demand on 28nm GPU.

Give it some time, we will see GT650M become a mainstream GPU.
Just be patient.

Asus new modal IVB + rebranded GPU.

M5-481TG updated twice in the 14" price list at 1st and last place.

It should come with i5-3317UM + Nvidia GT640M LE (Kepler) as per chinese website
http://bbs.gatewayfans.com/thread-40987-1-1.html

28nm Kepler GT640M LE is the low power option of GT640M for thin and light laptop such as M5-481TG (14" Ultrabook).

Beware, there are 3 version of GT640M
28nm kepler GT640M - Acer M3-581TG, Inspiron SE 14R & 15R
28nm kepler GT640M LE- Acer M5-481TG
40nm Fermi GT640M LE (rebranded GT550M) - Lenovo Y480

Relative performance should be
GT640M >GT640M LE (Kepler) =GT635M >GT640M LE(Fermi) = GT550M

Why they always like to fool the user by rebranding GPU to clear their old stock.

There are two version of GT640M LE kepler with DDR3 or DDR5.

Insp 14R SE with 3210M + GT640M @2199 is the best bang of the buck budget gaming laptop now.
Who will be the next contestant ???

Majority of the new IVB laptop are bundled with rebranded outdated GPU
TSMC still have the supply constraint of the new 28nm GPU. We may need to wait and see my predicted trend belows to realise.
GTX660M replace GTX560M, ie G55VW, coming Y580N
GT650M replace GT635M (rebranded GT555M), ie M14X, coming DV6, N56VZ, Y480N
GT640M replace GT630M (rebranded GT540M), ie Insp 14R SE
HD7770M replace HD7690M XT (rebranded HD6770M)
HD7730M replace HD7670M (rebranded HD6650M), ie Insp 15R SE
