Intel thinks – ION not required for netbooks
Intel’s director of netbook marketing, Anil Nanduri in an interview said that Nvidia’s ION is very much absurd for the netbooks. “In terms of usages, netbooks are not meant for gaming. You can run Internet games fine today with the existing solutions. We believe (ION) adds unnecessary additional cost and the other trade-offs make it less desirable,” said the director Nanduri. Without a doubt ION can be used for nettops.
Well, somebody shall tell him that ION is not only for gaming, but also for viewing HD videos. Without ION, it would be impossible to view 1080p on a netbook. That said, it should be noted that viewing 1080p videos only make sense when you have HDMI port on your ION netbook. Otherwise, there is no point in watching full HD videos on a low-resolution screen
