Next-Gen NVIDIA ION GPU has 10x Faster Graphics
March 2, 2010 by Leave a Comment
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.

March 1, 2010 by Leave a Comment
Over at CeBIT a couple of new Intel Atom processors for Netbooks were spotted called the Intel Atom N455 and Intel Atom N475. Intel have yet to announce these two newly spotted processors even though the announcement was made/released on Saturday regarding the Intel Atom N470.
From what we understand about the two new versions, the Atom N455 looks to be an update to the Intel Atom N450 and the Atom N475 looks to be an update of the Atom N470. It is believed that both will run at the same 1.66GHz and 1.83GHz that the previous models run at with the only difference being that there is support for DDR3 memory instead. [Read more…]
Intel Atom N470 Processor Announced
February 27, 2010 by Leave a Comment
The Intel Atom N470 has been officially announced. The announcement appears to have come a little early as the document is dated the 1st March. On to the details…
The Intel Atom N470 is a step up from the Intel Atom N450 CPU and runs at 1.83GHz along with housing 512Kb of L2 Cache. DDR2 667 memory is also supported by the new N470 CPU. Intel claim that the performance has been improved in the way of speed which is almost .2GHz quicker and it has been designed with more efficiency too which could further increase battery life on devices such as Netbooks that run it. The Atom N470 also has built in graphics allowing another performance boost for the netbooks it sits in.
It is unknown at the moment which OEM’s are signing up for the Atom N470 CPU, but Intel do say that major OEM’s are signing up which we assume will be the likes of ASUS, Samsung and all other companies who currently run the Intel Atom N450’s. [Read more…]
