Nvidia’s Ion graphics solution for netbooks provides the extra video power that’s lacking from Intel’s current Atom processor. It can handle Direct X graphics as well as 1080p “full” HD. After taking a while to get Ion-based products to market, Nvidia is already back with Ion 2, though the company is keeping it low-key as the first generation of Ion systems is still selling. Ion 2 may pack 5-10 times as much graphics power as Intel’s new “Pine Trail” Atom processor.
