ION 2 to ship later this year – will have more shaders

Nvidia’s boss has confirmed that they will start shipping  its Ion 2 chipset at the end of the year, 2009. While he remained tight-lipped about any specific designs as this depends on the customers. By customer, he meant the OEMs and netbook manufactures and vendors.

The next generation ION, the ION 2 will have support for other processors too: including Pentium 4 processors and VIA Nano. Of course, the Intel Atom is obviously supported. Support for CULV processors is also in the tunnel

The ION 2 is expected to have more shaders and ofcourse, better graphics.
