Intel Atom CPUs, for a long time, were combined only with Intel 945C
chipset and integrated GMA950 graphics card. Although Intel graphics
card is worthless when it comes to games, it is power enough to play HD
videos. In addition, this combination has low power consumption levels,
so besides HTPCs, it was ideal for office configurations. After lot of
troubles, NVIDIA presented its ION platform with support for Intel CPUs.
Whole platform is based on Intel Atom CPU, but chipset and graphics card
are different, so besides hardware support for HD video reproduction
there is also support for DirectX 10. All movie lovers will appreciate
this fact, while these features will most certainly be one of the most
important features that will promote ION as perfect base for HTPCs. When
it comes to power consumption, this new platform should have slightly
higher consumption compared to Intel solution..
