See the new ION products on display at Computex at the NVIDIA partner booths in the Nankang Exhibition Hall.

The new NVIDIA ION-based PCs and platform solutions are great for high definition video, mainstream gaming, and GPU-accelerated video and photo editing applications that take advantage of NVIDIA CUDA(TM) technology.

ION also supports DirectX Compute as part of Microsoft's upcoming Windows 7 operating system. DirectX Compute running on NVIDIA's CUDA compute hardware architecture delivers a major boost for small form factor PCs because it accelerates applications like video editing that run poorly or not at all on today's low-powered PCs. Other GPU-accelerated applications like vReveal and Badaboom let users quickly edit video and convert it for use on a portable media player like an iPod.

"NVIDIA is really shaking up the small form factor space with ION graphics," said Rob Enderle, Principal Analyst for the Enderle Group. "Netbooks and nettops are the hottest selling items in the PC space right now, but most are severely limited. ION removes the major chunk of that performance limitation allowing PC vendors the perfect blend of design, performance, and value that drives sales in hard times."

"Consumer interest in the Acer AspireRevo featuring NVIDIA's ION graphics has been overwhelming," said Gianpero Morbello, senior vice president of corporate marketing for Acer. "The Acer AspireRevo clearly demonstrates the power of ION to deliver a full and unique multimedia experience for an amazingly low price. We see strong consumer demand in this space."

NVIDIA ION graphics processors deliver big performance from small PCs with up to 10X faster graphics than similar systems(1). ION graphics support:

    --  Windows 7 and Windows Vista Home Premium
    --  Low-power CPUs including Intel Atom, Intel Celeron, and Via Nano
        processors
    --  Outstanding 1080p HD video with true-fidelity 7.1 audio
    --  Popular games including The Sims 3, Lego Batman, World of WarCraft, and
        Battlefield Heroes
    --  DirectX 10 graphics with advanced digital display connectivity
    --  Accelerated video enhancement and transcoding using NVIDIA(R) CUDA(TM)
        and DirectX Compute technology

(1) Based on 3D Mark '06 results on Atom 230 CPU with NVIDIA ION GPU, versus Atom 230 CPU with Intel 945 graphics.
