Intel, Nvidia tit for tat continues
IN RESPONSE to Intel's response to an anonymous Nvidia Powerpoint slamming Intel integrated graphics, the Green Goblin has now released an official Powerpoint, detailing why Chipzilla's slurs on ION are not to be believed.
Abandoning the raw nastiness of its first, unsigned document, Nvidia takes a stab at playing it professional in its latest propaganda attempt, laying out claim to counter claim with no solitaire slides in sight.
Countering Intel's claims the Ion platform is not validated, Nvidia points out it is, in fact "OEM-validated, Microsoft-validated, NVIDIA-validated", although we fail to see how Nvidia validating its own products helps much.
Nvidia says Ion replaces an outdated three chip design with a more contemporary two chip one, taking up 55 per cent less area. Ion, argues the Goblin, also offers a "more feature rich" experience than Intel netbooks, nettops, and notebooks.
As for Intel's declaration that the "Window of opportunity for NVIDIA Ion is very short", Nvidia concludes by reasoning that the next generation Atom (Pineview) "forces customers to use Intel graphics (with minor improvements)", whilst its Second-generation ION - purportedly due out in the fourth quarter of this year - "expands CPU support, performance and features."
So there. µ

Why do we use "Netbook" anyway, if we have the option of using "crotchtop"?!?
Or did the INQ patent that one?
Come oooonnn Intel i gots a twenty on you to win this time. I expect no less than smoking ruins.
I like Corporate wars. Someone should ake a video game.
Fight! Fight! Fight! LOL...
Obviously the man in green are about to be smashed by the great chipzilla.
Haha, I remember those SATA drivers - lived with 2 years of thinking I had a dying hard drive because every so often copies etc would corrupt before I thought I may as well google about the SATA drivers.
Even though they officially discourage thier use, they still include them on any nForce driver updates.
I've gone ATi :)
IMHO nVidia make great graphics to be sure and excellent drivers (others manufacturers considering).
For a laptop, I'd choose dedicated graphics, but we're talking about a netbook here.
But 1080p on a netbook? Crysis on 8.9" screen? Using Atom?
Now if they can do it cheap I would not mind; Ion can't be cheap and all that processing power won't consume less power.
I'd rather have a cheap, long lasting netbook than a high-definition capable one.
Welcome to the worl of bad silicone and sata corruption!
All this stuff they keep throwing back at each other remind me of the days when me and brother would fight on the living room furniture. All this stuff makes me laugh, grown men fighting about somethign so stupid, but I am taking Nvidias side on this because I hate Intel IGP. At least if Intel would do something about there poor graphics, then I wouldn't feel so bad. Fact is, Intel is holding a lot of people back from gaming. I think I'm just gonna buy an ATi card to put in my Intel rig. My AMD rig has 8800GT Sli and at least AMD puts some decent graphics on its motherboards!
