NVIDIA have announced a new NVIDIA ION GPU that potentially can deliver graphics up to 10 times faster and still retain a battery life on the netbook of 10 hours.
The new GPU's use what is called NVIDIA Optimus technology that allows the netbook to "vastly outperform basic netbook graphics by delivering rich HD media in games, movies, and Internet-based video."
Netbooks are traditionally known as being a little on the slow side when it comes to most things, but by using one of the NVIDIA ION GPU's in there, it totally transforms the netbook allowing it to playback HD video without jitter as well as play games such as World of Warcraft without problem.
