finally the first products start to hit the market. Roughly half a year ago this was the news of the day, and today. you can even play a couple of games or make a mini HTPC out of it, it's just really interesting as the product might be little, yet offers a lot. A platform that supports Gigabit Ethernet, dual-link DVI (high resolution monitors), acceleration in Photoshop CS4 and heck. A solution that even supports CUDA and therefore some simple PhysX functionality, but since it's CUDA compatible, it'll also allow encoding and acceleration of popular video content.

ION is a relatively low cost GPU assisted solution that will allow this industry on very short notice to have netbooks with full HD playback quality, in multi-channel HD audio.

A chipset that assists the Atom series processor in a much more advanced way than Intel offers. And the rest is history, NVIDIA launched the ION chipset allowing for much more interconnectivity, bandwidth and an embedded GPU allowing high-definition content playback. It's dog slow, a single channel chipset and limited in many ways.Įarlier this year it was then NVIDIA who figured, hmm why not couple the Atom processor with one of our chipsets. I mean sure it's good for everyday average usage, but the minute you want little more bite, that's where the ATOM combo with the Intel 945GC chipset bites you in the ass. The downside of that magic couple is that you get to have a rather slow dull PC. And dominant as they are, Intel actually forces the manufacturers to purchase the Atom processor with their in-house chipset, something I think is still illegal in the EU and have never understood somebody to pursue.
And especially for the nettop and netbook market, it's a golden egg. Intel as such reaped a lot of profit from their Atom series processor product. The heart of such products is based on an Intel Atom processor. Thing is, people like the cheap little Windows based PC's or laptops where they can just browse the web, check their email, perhaps do a little word processing or spreadsheet and other than that they figure it's all good. When Intel released the ATOM processor, the phenomenon of Nettop and netbooks exponentially started to grow.
