Although more shader cores are available in the Kepler architecture as compared to the Fermi design, the Kepler shaders are still expected to be up to twice as power efficient. In the K3000M, 3 blocks are active leading to the 576 CUDA cores. The GK104 Kepler core offers eight shader blocks, called SMX, that are clocked at the same speed as the central core. The Kepler architecture is the successor to the Fermi architecture that first appeared in laptops with the GeForce 400M series. OpenGL performance, for example, should be significantly better than GeForce graphics cards of similar specifications.

The Quadro series offers certified drivers that are optimized for stability and performance in professional applications like CAD or DCC. The Quadro K3000M is built for the Intel Chief River generation (Ivy Bridge) and is the successor to the Fermi-based Quadro 3000M (Huron River platform). It is a Kepler-based GPU built on the GK104 chip (but using only 576 shader cores) and is manufactured in 28nm at TSMC. The NVIDIA Quadro K3000M is a performance-class, DirectX 11.1-compatible graphics card for mobile workstations. NVIDIA Quadro K3000M ► remove from comparison
