Moving a shitty graphics platform into the processor doesn't exactly mean the death for Ion, as it actually has a little bit of power under the hood. I really wish I had a good analogy to compare Ion to GMA, but I hope you get the idea.]]>May 21st 2009 1:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/intel-details-next-generation-atom-platform-say-hello-to-pine-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/intel-details-next-generation-atom-platform-say-hello-to-pine-t/May 20th 2009 2:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/intel-details-next-generation-atom-platform-say-hello-to-pine-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/intel-details-next-generation-atom-platform-say-hello-to-pine-t/May 20th 2009 2:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/intel-details-next-generation-atom-platform-say-hello-to-pine-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/intel-details-next-generation-atom-platform-say-hello-to-pine-t/May 20th 2009 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/intel-details-next-generation-atom-platform-say-hello-to-pine-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/intel-details-next-generation-atom-platform-say-hello-to-pine-t/May 20th 2009 2:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/intel-details-next-generation-atom-platform-say-hello-to-pine-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/intel-details-next-generation-atom-platform-say-hello-to-pine-t/May 20th 2009 8:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/intel-details-next-generation-atom-platform-say-hello-to-pine-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/intel-details-next-generation-atom-platform-say-hello-to-pine-t/

It sure seems like the Atom was a bit of a stop-gap to make sure it owned the netbook market until it had a proper solution, like the one described here.

Slow? Of course it will be. But at least this once shouldn't use more power than an older, faster AMD. Remember this?

Seriously, 945 sucks for media and something like this is meant for media applications. I guess that's why Intel has to play shenanigans with bundling/pricing in an attempt to keep Ion down: Ion makes Intel look bad.]]>May 20th 2009 2:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/intel-details-next-generation-atom-platform-say-hello-to-pine-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/intel-details-next-generation-atom-platform-say-hello-to-pine-t/
Intel or Adobe or SOMEBODY needs to resolve the issues playing Hulu (flash) fullscreen on Atom netbooks. Sounds like Ion doesn't do it, given that GPU offload isn't supported in flash (FAIL), while putting an expensive SSD in your netbook DOES, but of course that's not a good solution for a cheap netbook. Unless this thing significantly outperforms Atom N-series chips, which I assume it will NOT, it seem unlikely it will resolve the issue either...

Adobe, we're all looking at YOU.]]>May 20th 2009 3:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/intel-details-next-generation-atom-platform-say-hello-to-pine-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/intel-details-next-generation-atom-platform-say-hello-to-pine-t/May 20th 2009 3:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/intel-details-next-generation-atom-platform-say-hello-to-pine-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/intel-details-next-generation-atom-platform-say-hello-to-pine-t/May 20th 2009 2:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/intel-details-next-generation-atom-platform-say-hello-to-pine-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/intel-details-next-generation-atom-platform-say-hello-to-pine-t/May 20th 2009 7:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/intel-details-next-generation-atom-platform-say-hello-to-pine-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/intel-details-next-generation-atom-platform-say-hello-to-pine-t/May 21st 2009 6:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/intel-details-next-generation-atom-platform-say-hello-to-pine-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/intel-details-next-generation-atom-platform-say-hello-to-pine-t/May 20th 2009 2:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/intel-details-next-generation-atom-platform-say-hello-to-pine-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/intel-details-next-generation-atom-platform-say-hello-to-pine-t/May 20th 2009 3:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/intel-details-next-generation-atom-platform-say-hello-to-pine-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/intel-details-next-generation-atom-platform-say-hello-to-pine-t/]]>May 20th 2009 3:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/intel-details-next-generation-atom-platform-say-hello-to-pine-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/intel-details-next-generation-atom-platform-say-hello-to-pine-t/May 20th 2009 6:34PM
