NVIDIA Ion Small Form Factor PC, A Deep Dive at HotHardware.com

news · February 3, 2009

In early January, back from our road trip to Vegas with CES show buzz and

bewilderment still fresh in our minds, we brought you a video interview with

Drew Henry, General Manager of NVIDIA's MCP products. Drew gave us a

first-hand glimpse at a new small form factor PC platform that NVIDIA was

developing based on their recently released GeForce 9400M chipset with

integrated graphics. In this new era of HTPCs, netbooks, nettops and all

things tiny, NVIDIA's Ion reference platform for the Intel Atom processor

offers the promise of an ultra low-profile, low power device that quite

literally fits in the palm of your hand, and thus could be easily tucked

away in various small places in a number of different usage models.

We've only had it in our test labs for a few days, but we thought we'd share

with you our first impressions and a deeper dive on the performance and

features of Ion, which will give you a sense of what lies ahead for the

platform, as retail products are introduced to market, hopefully in the not

too distant future.
