NVIDIA ION 2 To Have More Than Twice ION’s Shaders
Fudo over at Fudzilla has managed to dig up some more information on NVIDIA’s ION 2 chip that is expected to come sometime in the last few months of the year. The ION 2 is said to have at least double the shaders of the ION. We were impressed with the original ION test platform, so ION 2 will be amazing!
Our industry sources have told us that the new, shrunk version of ION, probably branded as ION 2, should have much faster graphics and much more shaders. We dont believe that the thermals will change that much, but weve heard that ION 2 will have more than double the number of shaders of the original Geforce 9400M /MCP79 /ION chip. Since ION has 16 shaders , or processors as Nvidia calls them these days, you should expect that the new one has more than 32. This will get much better gaming to netbooks and nettops based on ION 2 which is definitely something you cannot say no to and at the same time Cuda applications might run faster, in case you found one that matter to you.
