Lenovo Debuts First Netbook with NVIDIA ION Graphics Processor

Yes, it has 1 MB of total cache, but the cache isn't shared between the two cores. Each core has its own 512 KB of L2 cache, and the cores are assembled onto an MCM (multi-chip module), like Pentium D. So a thread can't use more than 512 KB of external cache.

Yes, obviously. I was convinced he meant that Atom 330 had still only 512K, meaning each core had either 256K or 512K shared.

You said:

False. Atom 330 has 1MB of cache. It's twice as good as Atom N270.

...in context of discussing threaded applications, which doesn't make it "obvious" you know that. Anyway, try to be less confrontational with your counter-arguments.

Actually, it does perfectly. The rest of that sentence is "Atom 330 is twice as good as Atom N270", which proves I knew that the 1MB was not shared, for if it was, Atom 330 > 2xN270. Not to mention it would have refuted lemon's theses. I only meant to suggest that Atom 330 is faster in all, not per thread. That is clear and obvious. No, the context only became threaded applications later. At first, I simply meant to address his wrongful statement of Atom 330 having only 512KB of cache, which was perfectly justifiable to assume.

I may be confrontational, but at least I'm not condescending.

There is no such thing is an N330.

Whoops! I meant the ordinary dual-core 330.

Also, unless you want to find an external Blu-ray/HD-DVD player to hook up to the Netbook, ION will be useless. Running H.264 files only utilizes the CPU. Which is why Atom 330 is a god-send.

Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (yes, it does do proper DXVA with a 9400M/9400GT)

CoreAVC (CUDA-support)

Right now I approve of neither.

Fails miserably when a certain fansubbing group mix it with a rubbish res for ATI cards. I haven't tested with Nv, but just to let people know.
It works fantastic with normal/proper resolutions.
