Just previous to CES 2010 back in January, Nvidia updated itsofficial blog with a teaser about an forthcoming mobile technology called Optimus. Set for a Q1 release, the latest "revolutionary" know-how will only work on laptops power-driven by Nvidia GPUs.

Without contribution in-depth details, the company said that Optimus is totally faultless, transparent, and will allow a Nvidia-branded integrated GPU to arrive at the same presentation level as a conventional GPU, but without a heavy draw on the laptop's battery. This may point to that Optimus controls a single GPU in a hardware or software sense, and scales the overall presentation when needed.

However, since Optimus is an unexpected product, Nvidia refused to reveal extra details, and essentially handed out "no comment" notices. Instead, inquiry are linked rear to the pre-CES 2010 blog.
