I really do like that they are pushing HD to such low-powered solutions. This means HTPCs can continue to get smaller and be fully capable of playing HD content - very cool.
 
Isn't ION basically just a 9400 paired with atom? Why the hype?

I can't wait for AMD to release an R630/635 on 40nm for integrated graphics. Then you would TRULY have something that can play Crysis. (Low @ 720p @ 40-60 fps. This depends on what the clocks are though. I bet you could play it at medium @ 30fps at 850 core with 256mb side-port ddr3)

That's 100% BS. The integrated graphics on my old computer could play it on high detail with EASE. That was a 2.4ghz P4 (no HT, 180nm fab process) 512mb ram, 845g mobo.
 
So, this will be the first 10" netbook, which actually has a decent current generation Atom CPU and a current generation GPU? Decent application and decent video power in a 10" package. Nice :) My Asus eeePC 1000HA chokes even on youtube videos.

P4 2.4ghz = 130nm NORTHWOOD (~1.5250v 512k L2 ~89w parts), 180nm (1.7500v 256k L2) WILAMETTE's would not scale beyond 2ghz - your info is wrong, how do i trust your other details?

You are very correct, I checked with cpu-Z and that has confirmed what you said. I believed I had a 180nm cpu because that's what the ones at my school are- except those are 1.8ghz.
