Currently, NVIDIA is really missing out on the netbook market, which is dominated by all-Intel platform designs. NVIDIA has finally woken up to this reality, and the outspoken cofounder, president, and CEO of NVIDIA, Jen-Hsun Huang, has launched an all-out campaign to promote his company’s Ion platform - and he isn’t shy of flinging some poo to Intel and netbooks in general.
NVIDIA’s Ion platform combines the well-known Intel Atom 1.6Ghz processor to the GeForce 9400M GPU, providing a powerful graphics core in netbooks (in fact, the same GPU powers Apple’s new MacBook). While release dates are as of yet unknown, the platform is supposed to arrive in the coming months.
