NVIDIA energizes Ion brand with 21 products

nvidiaNVIDIA Corporation yesterday revealed a complete ecosystem of 21 products based on Ion, a platform that has received considerable discussion since its announcement on December 17.

The list of products come from manufacturers both known and unknown to service a variety of roles including netbooks and motherboards.

Centered on the GeForce 9400M chipset, NVIDIA created the Ion to shrink the footprint of a netbook motherboard to the size of your palm. The firm contends that Ion will reduce both size and complexity by providing an elegant single-chip solution that should prove less expensive than competing products.

NVIDIA VP of World Wide Sales Rene Haas said in December that the Intel Atom, for which the ION is designed, is “actually a very good processor,” but it has been hamstrung by outdated Intel chipsets.

Icrontic briefly touched upon the Ion’s design as compared to upcoming Intel Atom platforms in our “A look at Intel’s 2009 mobile strategy” article.
