Tech Ticker

We are yet to see a decent number of Ion-based computing devices but Nvidia is already preparing to launch the second generation of Ion by the end of this year. Fudzilla, who claims to have got the scoop, says that the next Ion generation will be faster as well as powerful than the current Ion chip. The Ion 2 will be based on a smaller die and pack more than double the shaders what is present currently in Ion.

The current Ion chip boasts 16 shaders, which effectively means that the Ion 2 will have a minimum of 32 shaders. The Ion-based computers available in the market now can pull off 1080p content but with double the shaders on the next gen rumored Ion chip, expect it to do it with ease.
