About NVIDIA ION graphics processors
NVIDIA ION graphics processors turn up the visuals on small PCs with up to 10X faster graphics performance than similar systems. ION graphics processors provide support for premium Windows Vista features, outstanding media capabilities including 1080p high definition video and Blu-ray movies, and support for popular PC games. ION-based PCs will arrive in the second quarter of 2009 from leading PC manufacturers.
Emphasis added.
Personally, I can't wait! As soon as there's an ION based netbook with HDMI output, I'll be buying one :)
Re: News - NVIDIA talks up ION platform with abundant developer support
A big issue is going to be the price, nvidia is currently leading the onboard matx graphics performance with the GeForce 9400 but at twice the price of the 8300, amd 980g and g43 it's just not worth the extra. (the gap is smaller in current mITX boards but it's still the most expensive chipset)
