"Intel denies that they do not want to sell to producers partner solutions without Atom chipset bundled: so there is room for the platform Ion NVIDIA"
In recent days, close to Christmas, there was some information that showed an apparent difficulty in by the Taiwanese manufacturers, the new Ion platform developed by NVIDIA, which provides the matching between the GeForce 9400M chipset with integrated graphics and the Intel Atom.
According to information published on the website DigiTimes, in fact, the producers would have been very difficult to combine these two components as Intel explicitly require the purchase of a 945 series chipsets in combination with each processor Atom marketed so as to provide all the logic management systems needed for Netbook or nettop based on its CPU.
Intel has officially denied this information, specifying how the Atom processor can be purchased by the partner system manufacturers or bundled with the chipset, or just so they can be taken at the platforms of other producers such as the Ion NVIDIA.
It remains to be seen what other companies will start marketing its own platform-based systems Ion NVIDIA, on paper it looks like very interesting, because it can provide a Netbook and nettop systems capabilities with 3D graphics performance, as well as in playback of video streams of high definition, much higher than achievable with Atom chipset solutions currently provided by Intel.
It predicted that in 2008 Netbook solutions have achieved significant market success, with all major notebook manufacturers engaged in this market segment, and no course of 2009 we will go to the aging of these solutions through the implementation of new video subsystems to ensure good performance multimedia devices.
