Intel loves Nvidia for Optimus

Written by Fuad Abazovic

Power saving technology Nvidia will soon launch its Optimus (non-Prime. sub.ed.) technology and we've learned that Intel really likes what Nvidia did this time. The technology is basically Hybrid SLI done right, but it works really well this time around. Nvidia will soon launch it, but the key point is that Optimus needs Intel’s IGP and lives in symbiosis with the GPU. Once Nvidia launches this technology, it won’t go against Intel’s IGP and will stop preaching that Intel’s HD IGP is bad. Since many Arrandale equipped notebooks are on the way, and Arrandale has an IGP inside the CPU socket, this was a logical decision for them to make. Jensen is a feisty player but he also knows when it is good to stop and simply make money.   Intel’s advantage will be that Optimus only works with Intel IGPs and that Intel can defeat AMD even in GPU power, of course with the help of Nvidia GPUs and Optimus.

Intel对NV的Optimus很有爱

NV将要推出Optimus技术，Fud获悉，Intel这次对此非常欢迎。这个技术基本上就是之前的那个Hybrid SLI，但是现在工作的非常好了。

这次的关键点在于Optimus必须依赖于Intel的IGP。一旦NV发布这个技术，他也不会再同Intel IGP为敌，也会停止给Intel HD IGP泼脏水的行为。

因为Arrandale在笔记本上正在大量出货，而且是IGP集成在CPU内部的，这么做对于NV是理智的行为。老黄是争风吃醋的人，但是这次他知道应该停止嘴炮闷头赚钱。

Intel现在可以坐收渔利的是，Optimus只能和自家的IGP共同工作，因此Intel在GPU方面也可以轻松推平AMD，只不过GPU是NV提供的。

ION 2 supports Optimus

Soon We learned that Optimus, Nvidia's new power saving technology is going to be available also on its upcoming ION 2 GPU. Since ION 2 is not chipset and it is simply a GPU that interconnects with Intel’s Pine Trail platform, Nvidia can take advantage of Optimus technology even in this case. In some tasks, such as word processing, Nvidia will let Intel’s IGP to do the work and if the GPU power is needed for gaming or video encoding, ION2 will jump in and do the job. This is a good arrangement in Nvidia’s war against Intel’s IGP, as the two companies can now work together against their mutual enemy, AMD. We are still not sure when ION 2 is supposed to come to the market, but we would not be surprised to see some units at Cebit, the biggest European tradeshow that starts on March 2nd.

NV在Atom平台上也要搞Optimus

Fud已经获悉，ION 2 GPU也将支持Optimus技术。

ION 2已经不是芯片组了，他只是一个挂在Pine Trail Atom平台上边的GPU，因此NV也能利用Optimus技术在这方面攫取利益。某些任务下，比如写文档，NV可以让Intel IGP工作，如果要游戏或者视频解码，ION 2 GPU才发挥作用。

这对于NV和Intel之间的IGP争端是一个很好的解决方案，因为他们现在可以联合起来干死共同的敌人AMD。现在还不清楚什么时候ION 2能上市，但是在Cebit，也就是3月2日，看到一些相关产品是很正常的。

可能intel觉得现阶段有必要扶持一下NV

鱼儿水中游

amd简直就是扶不起来啊，全给n得了。

i和n原本就应该合作互利,一点也不奇怪

VGASOS

這個應該是給蘋果咬一口準備的技術吧
剛好解決內建顯示的cpu 3d效能太差的缺點
而且更省電哩

操，那天黄总还信誓旦旦地说N不用靠I当保护伞。做人太没品，迟早要还。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

    不用做保护伞是一回事，有钱干嘛不赚……

什么？

楼主，NV的Optimus就是使用Intel i3、i5里的整合GPU的hybrid Power版而已。这个功能ATI‘s GPU早就实现了，别忘了ATI（准确说是AMD图形部门，或原ATI那帮人）去年参加Intel IDF时可是把自己红色的Logo改成蓝色的
