There s certain degree of objectivity editors have to keep to retain their stature of trusted source when they start to get more and more readers. There are only a handful of exceptions in the world of IT hardware and right now one of them is much too active to miss him in what we decided to be a simple true/false review of current NVIDIA position. Charlie from semiaccurate started to sound more than angry lately and while he still keeps the politeness in his forum posts, most of his articles started to look like a regular forum troll postings.

CUDA cores), which made double the original ION’s 16 cores, and also double the power in 3D, yet not enough to be useful for 3D gaming. It was supposed to be like GeForce GT 130M die shrink made on 40 nm process. BSN even published some specifications of ION 2: …read on
