Nvidia To Introduce Ion LE

August 05, 2009 at 08:08:43 PM, by Daniel Shain Rating: 0 out of 5

Nvidia is set to release a light edition of their Ion chipset, which will be slightly underpowered and lower priced.

NVidia's Ion was released to be a companion to Intel Atom CPUs and give computers running it a much needed graphics boost. While the full version will be capable of running DirectX 10 (which comes standard with Widows Vista - Windows 7 has DirectX 11), the light edition LE will only support DirectX 9.

This version is expected to be lower priced and will still be fully capable of running 1080p. Ions are generally paired with netbooks and Windows XP, making LE a great option for most users who probably won't do heavy gaming. Ion LE products will be fully compatible with Windows 7 and are expected to begin production soon. Page:1/1

Tech words explained

"Ultraportable"
This is the smallest and lightest version of the laptop. The overall focus of this laptop is having a light weight (less than 5lb), around 1" thick or less, with 9" to 12" displays. Due to the cost of making components smaller and fitting them into tighter spaces, the price is usually more expensive, ranging from $1000 for a very basic machine to $2000+ for mid-range features. Although the Ultraportable has respectable standard performance, it is usually inadequate for any graphics-intensive programs, due to the common use of Integrated Graphics. Ultraportables usually have longer battery life (~5+ hours) due to the common usage of lower voltage processors. Other than the smaller screen and integrated graphics, the other major tradeoff usually found with Ultraportables is a lack of an optical drive. These are usually not built into the laptop to save space and weight, but instead are often provided as an external option. Ultraportables are intended for highly mobile users who need basic computing power with ultimate portability.
