Computex 2009 ION Showcase
In this post we got a nice little preview of what ION products will be released at Computex, but here are the official details straight from the source. As you can see there are a few things we have already glimpsed, but also a few pleasant surprises. I find it interesting how many All-in-ones there are in this list. Perhaps kitchen computing is all the rage now. Also, note the absent HDMI port on the netbooks. Here is a list of all of the products that will be announced at Computex:

Official NVIDIA Press Release:
COMPUTEX, TAIPEI, TAIWAN—JUNE 2, 2009—NVIDIA, the world leader in visual computing technologies and the inventor of the GPU, announced broad adoption of its award-winning NVIDIA® ION™ graphics processor at the Computex tradeshow today. The new products – introduced at an NVIDIA press conference in Taipei and on display at the show – include small desktop PCs, thin and light notebooks, all-in-one PCs, and low power motherboard solutions which all deliver a full PC experience in a small, low-power system. The new products include:

Zotac Motherboard ION-ITXSee 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™ 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 Reveal 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 systems1. 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® CUDA™ and DirectX Compute technology
