Nvidia mobile GPUs support Intel Centrino platform

Nvidia Corp., a provider of graphics and digital media processors, announced that its GeForce Go 6 mobile GPU series supports the latest Intel Centrino mobile platform (codenamed Sonoma), taking full advantage of the new, improved pci express architecture.

"Intel is clearly one of our most valuable partners in the mobile computing space," said Rob Csongor, general manager of mobile products for Nvidia.

The GeForce Go 6 mobile GPU series offers a variety of multimedia features for mainstream notebooks, including the industry's only solution compatible with the latest version of Microsoft DirectX 9.0 Shader Model 3.0, and Nvidia PureVideo technology, the industry's only embedded video processor for HD multimedia content.
