That's true, but how much of it is because the graphics card is handling the load, and how much is because the CPU is taking up the slack? The NVIDIA ION, at least the devices currently available, uses a GeForce 9300M integrated graphics paired with an Atom CPU. If everything is done with the video card, then that's great since the 9300M is a pretty decent one. However, if some CPU power is needed, I'm not sure if even the dual-core Atom 330 1.60GHz will be able to handle the load.
