It?s been one week since a few of us from the Internet Explorer team were down in Las Vegas for the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2011. While we spent much of our time demonstrating the IE9 beta to CES attendees, industry analysts, and press, we had the chance to get out of the booth and talk to some of the sites and companies building some interesting innovations using IE9.
Ziad Ismail previously blogged about Huffington Post and Gilt Groupe and why they are great web experiences that put sites at the center. Today I wanted to focus on two of our hardware partners: AMD and Nvidia.
AMD announced their new Fusion line of Accelerated Processing Units (or APUs) as we detailed in another post (check out the small size of the chip in the video!). At CES, Gabe Gravning from the AMD team walked us through how they used IE9 in their booth to demonstrate the power of Fusion.
Nvidia showed off some impressive graphics power at their booth as well. Besides showing some incredible 3-D gaming, and their one-of-a-kind ?keg-puter?, Nvidia used IE9 to show off some of their new graphics chips. Dave Ragones from the Nvidia team gave us a demo.
It was exciting to see something like a browser popping up in these other booths as a way to demonstrate the power of hardware. With full hardware acceleration, IE9 is a great way to showcase the next gen web applications that will get great performance on tomorrow?s web! Download the Internet Explorer 9 beta now to give it a try.
