Nvidia is yet to detail its Ion 2 platform but the Taiwanese rumormonger is claiming they’ve already landed orders from Acer. Ion 2 supports Intel’s Atom N450, N470, D510 or D410 CPUs and seemingly Acer wants to gain on this by integrating the Ion solution to make the netbooks (or nettops) more powerful.
Intel’s Pineview processors embed memory and the graphics controller onto the CPU and thus, with Ion 2 supporting the latest Intel hardware, it can act as a discrete GPU.
