Nvidia Ion is a system/motherboard platform that includes Nvidia's GeForce 9400M (MCP79) chipset, DDR3-1066 or DDR2-800 SDRAM, and the Intel Atom processor. The original reference platform was based on a Pico-ITXe motherboard designed for netbook and nettop devices. In February 2009, Microsoft certified the Ion-based platform as Vista-capable. The small form factor Ion-based computers was released in the early summer of 2009, with the recommended retail price starting at $299.99.

  • Nvidia Ion is a system/motherboard platform that includes Nvidia's GeForce 9400M (MCP79) chipset, DDR3-1066 or DDR2-800 SDRAM, and the Intel Atom processor. The original reference platform was based on a Pico-ITXe motherboard designed for netbook and nettop devices. In February 2009, Microsoft certified the Ion-based platform as Vista-capable. The small form factor Ion-based computers was released in the early summer of 2009, with the recommended retail price starting at $299.99. Ion systems are DirectX 10 capable and able to play full 1080p high-definition video with true-fidelity 7.1 surround sound audio output with the Third Generation PureVideo HD feature. Ion systems can also use CUDA, as well as OpenCL. It was originally believed to be unlikely that Ion systems would ever enter into mass production and were thus unlikely to pose a serious rival to Intel's own chipsets for the Atom platform, due to Intel's unwillingness to supply Atom processors separate from the 945GSE and 945GC chipsets with which the CPUs are usually supplied. While manufacturers could still buy an Atom-plus-chipset package and remove the CPU for use on a Ion board, it hardly seems likely given the costs involved, especially given the low-cost leanings of the nettop and netbook market. However, Intel later denied those claims, and a spokesperson for Intel said Intel sells Atom as a stand-alone processor. NVIDIA has announced that it will also release the Ion platform for the VIA Nano processor some time in Q4 2009. For full-sized laptops, the Ion platform promises 5x faster graphics and video transcoding with an 80% lower CPU cost when compared to the Intel GM45 graphics. For netbooks and nettops 10x faster graphics and video transcoding when compared to the Intel 945GSE graphics. For all-in-ones the Ion platform is capable of displaying resolutions up to 2560 × 1600. Acer have announced the release of their Aspire Revo which is the first model available for retail purchase to be built on the Ion platform. A company called Zotac has launched four NVIDIA Ion based motherboards in Mini-ITX form factor. LinuxTECH. NET maintains a complete list of currently available Nvidia Ion based products.

  • NVIDIA ION (エヌヴィディア イオン) とは、NVIDIAがネットブック・ネットトップデバイス向けに提唱する、 Intel Atom にGPU統合型チップセット NVIDIA GeForce 9400M G を組み合わせたプラットフォームのブランド名。GPUが Direct3D 10 に対応しているため、マイクロソフトは Windows Vista 互換の認証を出している。 従来の Intel Atom 搭載ネットブックで使われる事の多い Intel 945GSE と ICH7M の2チップ構成では、内蔵GPUは Direct3D 9 まで、メモリインタフェースはDDR2-667までの対応となっている。これに対して、 NVIDIA GeForce 9400M G では、 Direct3D 10 世代GPUと、メモリがDDR2-800に加えてDDR3-1066に対応することにより、処理が高速化した。サウスブリッジを統合した1チップ構成であるため、マザーボード上の実装面積も小さくなる。 これらによって、ある程度の3D性能が必要なゲームが実行可能になり、Blu-ray Disc（1080pのフルスペックHD）を再生可能になった。また、同社が推進しているGPGPU技術のCUDAにより、動画圧縮において Intel Atom 単独に比べて最大10倍高速化した。 IONを搭載した最初のマザーボードは2009年5月に香港のメーカーZOTACから発売された。価格は3万円程度とIntel製のAtom搭載マザーボードより高価である。6月にはIONを採用した初のネットトップ「Acer AspireRevo」、初のネットブック「サードウェーブ Prime Note Cresion NA」と、「Lenovo IdeaPad S12」が発売される予定。(「サードウェーブ Prime Note Cresion NA」は販売開始)
  • Nvidia ION to nazwa platformy firmy NVidia w skład której wchodzi chipset NVidia MCP79 i karta graficzna GeForce 9400M lub GeForce G 102M. W netbookach konkuruje z platformami Intel CULV oraz AMD Yukon i AMD Congo. W notebookach rywalizuje z platformami Intel Centrino oraz AMD Puma i AMD Tigris. Jest również stosowana w desktopach.
