According to the source, Optimus, a new technology from nVidia, allows you to save energy by switching to the IGP on the GPU and vice versa, will be also available with the upcoming GPU Ion 2.

Since Ion 2 chipset is not as simple graphics processor that is connected to the platform Intel Pine Trail, nVidia may even in this case to take advantage of technology Optimus. In some tasks such as word processing, nVidia will do the work Intel IGP, but if the power of the GPU need for gaming and video encoding, will be used Ion 2, which would make this work.

This is a good solution in the war against nVidia Intel IGP, since the two companies can now work together against their common enemy, AMD. It is still unknown when the Ion 2 will hit the market, but it would be surprising to see this solution at CeBIT, Europe's largest IT-exhibition, which begins March 2.
