nVidia High-Definition Laptop GPU
 
nVidia has today introduced its first integrated graphics processor (IGP) core-logic solution for laptops. Comprised of the GeForce Go 6100 graphics processing unit (GPU) and the nForce Go 430 media and communications processor (MCP), the new mobile IGP solution is the first with hardware accelerated H.264 high-definition (HD) video playback.

The new mobile IGP is the first with a high-performance graphics core that accelerates HD MPEG-2, VC1 and H.264 video playback on a laptop, supports Microsoft’s DirectX 9.0 Shader Model 3.0 for realistic 3D effects, and is designed to work with Microsoft’s forthcoming Windows Vista operating system.

The HD playback is made possible by nVidia’s Pure Video technology, a hardware acceleration engine that enables smooth playback of HD video with minimal CPU overhead and long playback times while running on battery power. PureVideo technology also brings advanced video features to laptops - including advanced de-interlacing, inverse telecine, and high-quality scaling - enabling you to watch high-definition videos and DVDs with the highest level of visual quality and performance.

‘We have combined our desktop platform solutions and mobile discrete graphics technologies to create an integrated solution that shatters the stereotype that IGP solutions deliver substandard video and graphics performance,’ said Bill Henry, director of mobile product management at nVidia. ‘Our new integrated solution brings HD video playback and realistic 3D effects to a wide range of laptop segments, from value laptops to thin and light multimedia machines.’

By offering this highly integrated solution, nVidia is now providing OEMs and system builders a foundation for designing laptops with additional emphasis placed on lowering overall power consumption, extending battery life, and enabling the introduction of mobile platforms in unique, smaller form-factors.

The first laptops based on GeForce Go 6100 and nForce Go 430 are now available from European system builders Evesham, Rover, and Wortmann. Other laptop OEMs and system builders worldwide are expected to release retail products based on the GeForce Go 6100 and nForce Go 430 in the coming months.
