NVIDIA, ? 1 graphics chip Maker in the computer industry, finally decided to join the race netbook. They recently announced their newest platform, is available. Although this is not a revolutionary new chip (it was actually some time around), his pairing with the Intel Atom processor is what really makes it important to netbook owners, and addicted to drugs.
About Jon
Ion is a combination of the current processor Intel Atom, is used in most netbooks, with Nvidias 9400M mobile GPU. In the 9400M is currently used in many budget notebooks, as well as the GPU can be found in the Apple MacBook Pro in a row. The new chips will bring 5x faster graphics, and up to 10x faster video transcoding.
So what does this mean to you?
Jonah will allow to run the video much faster. For those of you who are first generation netbook (like my HP mini), you have probably noticed that the video may cause serious hiccups. On the 9400M, you can run HD video in full 1080p and Nvidia even went on to say that the platform will be capable of Blu-Ray playback. Not only that, but Nvidia has been quoted as saying that the new platform can run Call Of Duty 4, with 25-30 FPS consistently. That is quite a feat considering my current netbook just run simple games on Yahoo. What also means that, with this new line of netbooks should also be able to run World of Warcraft on decent quality settings. I must be honest when I say to you that this is me very happy.
Are there any disadvantages?
The only documented decline in that time was power. A new model of systems that were tested were exhibiting twice the previous power netbooks and cut the battery time to about 4-5 hours for most systems. Nvidia stated, however, that Jonah was based netbooks will have a special energy-saving techniques to extend battery life, so there is no accurate measurement can be done before the first run the system appears.
So when they are, and what new models were announced?
Until now, the only line with the time was mid-2009, but we must start a large crop of big name netbooks Ion platform in the near future. Most of the gates will be Lenovo S12, the new Acer, and likely a new Asus laptop also supplement them with new thin line of netbooks. I would suspect that all the major players in the netbook race Ion Systems will be available at Christmas.
IN CONCLUSION
New Ion platform Nvidia and Intel would be a huge step for netbooks. 5x graphics power, 10x speed video, Call Of Duty, World of Warcraft, and 1080p, all sounds great. If you already have a first generation netbook, it looks like Christmas may be a good time to upgrade.
