With the rise in popularity of HTPC and small form factor media/gaming rigs as well as the rise in electricity costs, low power high performance platforms are taking center stage. With the inception of the ION platform, the once back shelf products are now receiving a new lease on life. We have seen a number of ATOM/ION based combos being released however they still did not offer the bang that some customers were looking for. As a way of background, these small ITX form factor boards are paired with low power processors and GPUs designed to offer the user a platform that will provide them with strong media capabilities as well as some casual gaming in a compact, low-power design. While not able to break world records, they are perfect as high definition media players and small gaming rigs.Zotac has been one of the pioneers in the ITX platform and now they have taken the ION platform a bit further by coupling it with an ultra low voltage Intel Celeron processor designed to give the user a boost in performance over the ATOM combination. I have seen SU Celeron's in laptops but this is a first for me seeing it in a desktop setup. Will the beefier processor make a difference in media and gaming as well as everyday tasks?
