Nvidia Ion

Nvidia Ion
ManufacturerNvidia

Nvidia Ion was a product line of Nvidia Corporation intended for motherboards of low-cost portable computers. It used graphics processing units and chipsets intended for small products.

Description

Nvidia Ion products included a GeForce 9M (9xxxM) series MCP79MX (with integrated GeForce 9400M G GPU) chipset, DDR3-1066 or DDR2-800 SDRAM, and the Intel Atom processor. The original reference platform was based on a Pico-ITXe motherboard designed for netbook and nettop devices. In February 2009, Microsoft certified the Ion-based platform for Windows Vista.[1] The small form factor Ion-based computers were released in mid-2009.[citation needed]

Ion GPUs are DirectX 10.0 and OpenGL 3.3 compliant. They also support CUDA and OpenCL. They can play 1080p H.264, MPEG-2 and VC-1 video using VDPAU or PureVideo HD.[2] ION-LE–based systems shared the same basic hardware as ION but lack Vista and DirectX 10 support.[3]

Nvidia announced that it would release the Ion platform for the VIA Nano processor some time in Q4 2009.[4]
