Next-Gen Nvidia ION Coming Next Year

The new ION chips are in production now and will appear in the first half of next year.

Re: Next-Gen Nvidia ION Coming Next Year
It will work with Pinetrail Atoms. ION 2 isn't a chipset+IGP like the current ION but is being reported as a kind of discrete GPU (my guess is it'll use shared memory) that will work along Intel on-die integrated graphics.

Re: Next-Gen Nvidia ION Coming Next Year
What does ION offer that the Intel GMA500 does not (simultaneous decoding of two 1080p streams, 3D rendering, and DirectX 10.1 within a 2.3W TDP)?

Re: Next-Gen Nvidia ION Coming Next Year
Much superior graphics, better performance, faster performance, real 3D support, Win7 full support, Aero support, BD and HD capabilities, HDMI, faster processing.
An ION is the same IGP as the MBP13.

Re: Next-Gen Nvidia ION Coming Next Year
Bad part about being a discrete chip is it means extra cost, extra heat, and lower battery life.
It's delayed launch will also put ION 2 netbooks on sale at around the same time 45nm Neo gets launched...which should cost Nvidia some sales as the AMD platform with ATI IGP should be cheaper.
