Nvidia Optimus automatic GPU switching officially detailed; heading to ION 2 [Video]
February 9, 2010 at 3:15 pm
Nvidia has formally announced details regarding its Optimus technology that allows for seamless graphics switching on netbooks and laptops. We briefly talked about Optimus earlier with rumours that ION 2 may support this technology, but now that the NDA is lifted, there’s a lot more detail on just how impressive this new technology is. We can also confirm that those earlier rumours are true, next-generation ION will have Optimus technology support.
It’s worth emphasizing that Nvidia Optimus technology is different to the switchable graphics that you may be familiar with. Optimus is designed to be invisible, working in the background and automatically switching between integrated Intel graphics or Nvidia discrete graphics depending on the application used. No rebooting, logging out or closing apps is needed here.
The end result is having all of the benefits of a discrete graphics part when needed, without sacrificing battery life when doing basic tasks. The is question is that does it work? All of the major tech sites have their verdicts of this new technology and the overall consensus is very positive.
PC Perspective says that “NVIDIA Optimus is one of the most impressive mobile technologies we have ever seen.” Anandtech was equally praising: “No NVIDIA-based laptop going forward should ship without Optimus. In fact, if a manufacturer has a design in the works that’s almost ready for market and it uses an NVIDIA discrete GPU without Optimus, please do us a favor and rework the product.” Tech Report believes that “Optimus is by far the best switchable graphics solution I’ve seen”. HotHardware also loved it, “we’ll even go so far as giving the technology our coveted Editor’s Choice award because, yes, it’s that good.”
There you go, it all sounds very impressive. It makes the wait for ION 2 even more unbearable. Nvidia have upped the game again and Optimus looks like a compelling piece of technology in the mobile computing segment. If you’re looking for more information we’ve included a number of videos below that goes into more detail as well as a selection of the Nvidia Optimus presentation slides.

To nVidia,
So what if its only Intel, don’t sell ION without Optimus. Bull’s Eye !
About time batteries got their dues too !! Here on onwards nVidia ION2 is officially mandatory for all books
Great news, good work cuz nothing beats resident hardware support.

Perfect time for another price rise of a netbook now
February 10th, 2010 9:16 PM
Price will definitely go up but for a very relevant inclusion. Am game for reasonable hike as long as the above combo of battery life + performance features does its due diligence as per chart. You already have a bonus in Adobe Flash 10.1 which was released earlier for ION.
With this I would also get a 2GB RAM for sure just to get the max outta the netbook .. now that’ll add-on to the cost .. am guessing $50 – 75 mark-up to total US$475+ approx.

Optimus explained – initial impressions with Asus UL50Vg :http://www.trustedreviews.com/laptops/review/2010/02/24/nVidia-Optimus-Explained/p1 – one hint suggests Optimus may not be the luxury of the rich. Looks good

IMPRONTA ESOTICA D decisamente pi esotica il brunch di Yakiniku, un piccolo ristorante giapponese del Pigneto che ha scelto di non servire sushi e sashimi nel proprio men ma di focalizzare l sui piatti alla griglia (yakiniku in giapponese significa proprio alla griglia Di domenica propongono un brunch buono e originale all di sapori orientali e speziati. Sul grande tavolo posizionato al centro dell sala interna (molto carino anche il piccolo cortile allestito con tavolini e poltroncine da fruire d c un scelta di fritti (croccanti e asciutti) come gli involtini con verdure, i gamberi, dei pezzetti di pollo e delle pi nostrane crocchette di patate, di vari tipi di verdure (asparagi e zucchine con olio e semi di sesamo nero), di insalate, di pesce in stile giapponese come l salmone in salsa teriyaki e il pesce spada con melanzane grigliate. Meno convincente il guazzetto di pesce con il quale si condisce il riso bianco. Nel modico prezzo di 20 euro sono compresi, oltre all e ad una consumazione alcolica, anche i dolci di tradizione nostrana tutti molto buoni, come la crostata di pere e cannella e la torta con marmellata di mirtilli e crema di mele fuji.torna la sfida sul Po tra Universit e Politecnico

One thing I would like to say is that often car insurance canceling is a dreadful experience so if you’re doing the correct things as a driver you simply won’t get one. Some people do obtain the notice that they’ve been officially dropped by their own insurance company and several have to scramble to get extra insurance from a cancellation. Low-priced auto insurance rates usually are hard to get after having a cancellation. Having the main reasons with regard to auto insurance cancellation can help car owners prevent sacrificing one of the most essential privileges accessible. Thanks for the tips shared by your blog.
