We still have some reports coming in from the just concluded CES 2009 show. One of the new items Nvidia had on display at the show was its Ion platform based on an Intel Atom 1.6GHz processor and Nvidia Geforce 9400 graphics processor. When OCC visited Nvidia at the show, the performance numbers were still under embargo which has since been lifted and you can check some of the previews out today. We also have some video card reviews including the Sapphire HD 4850 X2 (also reviewed by OCC here). Make sure you check out the rest of the reviews and articles below.
