NVIDIA Will Release ION LE Graphic Processor

Nvidia has introduced a new Ion integrated graphics processor which is called the Ion LE. This chip is an entry-level netbook graphics chip that will only support up to DirectX 9. The chip competes in the low price graphic chip market while still providing great performance compared to Intel’s 945GSE chipset and GN40 part.

Netbooks are meant to be low cost, and NVIDIA's decision is on the track. However, the technology would probably have a short life because in the future it couldn't run any OS higher than Windows XP.
