Overview

Tesla M6 Mobile is an NVIDIA GPU entry in the Tesla M Series family. It is listed with Maxwell 2.0 architecture and GM204 silicon.

Key reference data: 1,536 CUDA cores/shaders, 8 GB GDDR5 memory, 256-bit memory bus, 100 W board power class.

Laptop implementations can vary by OEM power limit, cooling, memory configuration, and driver package.

Why It Mattered

Tesla M6 Mobile matters as a mobile Tesla M Series implementation from the Maxwell 2.0 generation around 2015. Laptop GPU names often hide large differences in power limits, cooling, memory, and OEM firmware, so tracking the exact variant explains why similarly named systems can perform differently.

Collector Relevance

For archival use, record the exact laptop or module model, OEM subsystem ID, TGP or power profile, memory size and type, VBIOS, cooling design, display mux or Optimus behavior, and driver package used by the system vendor.

Used-Market Caution

Do not buy a laptop by GPU name alone. Confirm the exact laptop model, TGP, memory configuration, charger, cooling condition, display mux, BIOS support, driver branch, battery health, and whether the GPU is soldered or part of a replaceable module.

Driver and Platform Notes

Driver support depends on architecture, operating system, and current NVIDIA driver branch.

Check the current NVIDIA Linux driver branch, distribution packages, and kernel compatibility for this exact GPU.

Check the current NVIDIA driver branch and OEM support policy for this exact GPU.
