news 28 Posted May 12, 2009 The Zotac IONITX-A-U is the first of what will likely be many NVIDIA ION-based motherboards to hit the market this year. This all-in-one integrated solution includes an Atom 330 dual-core processor, GeForce 9400M graphics, 802.11n Wi-Fi, HDMI and more in a convenient little mini-ITX package. An external power brick rounds out the features that help this motherboard stand out from the rest.

The problem with the ION platform is that it can't compete in raw CPU-based tasks with the likes of the AMD Athlon X2 7750, or even the Intel Celeron processor for that matter, simply because the Intel Atom core is so limited in its computational power. If you were to just look at it from a pricing point of view, the AMD system is a much better performer for the money than Zotac's ION platform is." Thanks for a post!
