If the video is to be believed, then yes.
And according to
http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/25/intel-put-the-kibosh-on-anti-ion-hubbub-welcomes-standalone-ato/
Intel will let anybody attach to the Atom. Can Intel be trusted? Who
knows...
An unnamed Intel spokesman chimed in on the whispers today by
outrightly denying the claims, telling InternetNews that "there is
nothing preventing vendors from using [NVIDIA's] Ion platform; [Intel]
sells Atom as a standalone processor, or as a package with chipset."
