The Quadro M520 Mobile was a professional mobile graphics chip by NVIDIA, launched on January 11th, 2017. Built on the 28 nm process, and based on the GM108 graphics processor, the chip supports DirectX 12. The GM108 graphics processor is a relatively small chip with a die area of only 77 mm² and 1,020 million transistors. It features 384 shading units, 16 texture mapping units, and 8 ROPs. NVIDIA has paired 2,048 MB GDDR5 memory with the Quadro M520 Mobile, which are connected using a 64-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 965 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1176 MHz, memory is running at 1253 MHz (5 Gbps effective).
Being a mxm module card, the NVIDIA Quadro M520 Mobile does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 25 W maximum. This device has no display connectivity, as it is not designed to have monitors connected to it. Rather it is intended for use in laptop/notebooks and will use the output of the host mobile device.
