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.

When it comes to power consumption, this new platform should have slightly higher consumption compared to Intel solution.

Back in February Intel sued Nvidia claiming that their contract does no give the GeForce maker the right to develop and sell chipsets for CPUs with integrated memory controllers. That pretty much means Nvidia won't have chipsets for Core i3, i5 or i7 (or i9 for that matter) CPUs.
