The ION was a mobile integrated graphics solution by NVIDIA, launched on June 3rd, 2008. Built on the 65 nm process, and based on the C7A-ION graphics processor, in its MCP7A-ION-B3 variant, the device supports DirectX 11.1. Even though it supports DirectX 11, the feature level is only 10_0, which can be problematic with many DirectX 11 & DirectX 12 titles. It features 16 shading units, 8 texture mapping units, and 4 ROPs. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 450 MHz. Its power draw is rated at 20 W maximum. ION is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI interface.
