NVIDIA ION Platform Reviews Making the Rounds

3117467058_d9ef5d4ff9  
News of the NVIDIA ION platform hit the net late last year but today, the reviews are finally in. Several enthusiast sites have gotten hardware to test as they see fit from NVIDIA and for the most part, the verdicts are positive. ION delivers HD video playback far beyond the means of the typical Intel Atom based system we have today. For the most part, it seems gaming is now actually possible on an Atom based system with ION... how much fun you'll have gaming on one though is questionable since it turns in pretty low framerates in most games. NVIDIA company claims ION will only use 12% more power than Intel 945G based systems. They also claim that ION will tack on about $50 to $100 to netbooks/nettops with similar specs. Expect to see ION equipped systems for sale sometime this Summer.
