NVIDIA officially launched its Next Generation Ion Platform with Optimus Technology

Unlike the original Ion platform, Ion 2 is a dedicated graphics core and not a complete chipset technology based on the GeForce G plate 210M. Ion 2 provides much more velocity than the original platform without sacrificing too much battery life. Graphic level in DirectX 9 (OpenGL 2) is about 50 percent faster than the original Ion, and 15 times faster than Intel DirectX 10.

Ion 2 Nvidia provides energy savings technology via the optimum utilization in changes in real time between Ion 2 and Intel graphics depending on the circumstances. Intel hardware can use slower but more efficient for regular 2D graphics and invoke the full performance technology provided by NVIDIA 3D video playback, Blu-ray, CUDA / or Flash OpenCL 10.1. As a result, a typical combo Atom and graphics processor Ion 2 should work for up to 10 hours battery cone regular load.

Nvidia will make available different versions of the new technology Ion 2 depending on the platform. While an 8-core processor provides sufficient speed for netbooks, a new 16-core version is aimed at desktops, where battery life is not a problem.

Acer will be the first PC maker to use the hardware on the next netbook Aspire One which will be released in May. Other systems like the ASUS Eee PC 1201PN, Lenovo C200 and future equipment from companies like Shuttle will also use the new Zotac NVIDIA technology in the future.
