Intriguing news from NVIDIA have appeared on their blog today. The brief announcement says NVIDIA is putting final touches on a mysterious Optimus technology. The manufacturers themselves say NVIDIA Optimus is notebook-orientated and works with platforms that carry an onboard NVIDIA graphic processor.
NVIDIA Optimus technology will debut at CES 2010 and will be released in a short while afterwards in Q1. Optimus is designed to improve graphic experience on notebook platforms whilst keeping power management efficient. That is very pleasant to hear, but what was not yet pronounced by NVIDIA is the actual architecture of Optimus. The first thing that comes to my mind is making use of the latest Intel Atom Pineview processor, probably implementing it on top of the Ion platform. I'm really afraid to make suggestions here as Optimus could really be something completely new.
