Apple and NVIDIA Ion

The functions of Apple TV are not intensive in central processing, when a graphical processor with capacity to accelerate video - like all cards at present - and in the present is had, this apparatus occupies old hardware, that consumes more energy, is greater and it is warmed up more than the existing options nowadays.

On the other hand, a combination of chipset NVIDIA + processor Intel Atom, is economic and powerful than the present one. Briefly, they would make more money, their clients would be happier and goes of the hand with the policy to standardize hardware and ecological products of the engineers and neckties of 1 Infinite Loop.

This taking a new edge, after which Tom's Hardware will indicate that Apple has been having Ion prototypes enough for a long time in its offices. After to me to have joined with the people of NVIDIA in Fertile valleys, I am certainly this is real, nevertheless I generate hurried conclusions that it seems to me are little possible: that the mini Mac occupies Ion.

I am convincing that Apple will not make this decision and the reason is simple, although would be an update to the graphical capacity of the computer of entrance of the apple, in the best one of the things, the processing of the Atom top of line for writing-desk - model 330 of double nucleus - is quite smaller to the one of movable the 2 Cores Pair who occupy at present. If it will get to happen that Apple occupied Ion in the mini Mac, would be an one step back and would be mistaken, since clearly what the mini ones needs is a 2 combination of chipset NVIDIA and Cores Pair and the price difference is not greater.

What if we could see and serious tuna very, it is a Netbook based on Atom and Ion of the hand of Apple. Nobody I consider this?
