Believe it or not, but reliable sources estimated that the long-time partner Apple and Nvidia in 2011, largely separate. This one is in the low-end segment in particular on integrated Intel graphics units, in the stronger MacBook Pro models, however, will come in future models of the GPU, AMD forge used. And yes, various fusion APUs to the end of the year at Apple are used, even if only in the boarding area.
After all, is Nvidia supplier recently refreshed products such as the new MacBook Air all appearances, took advantage of AMD the same tactic as with HP also and its GPUs sold cheaper than usual, and probably in price areas where Nvidia can compete hard and apparently has no wish to . Nevertheless, the resulting profit due to the lower price is greatly to be limited.
Whether that AMD can be described as a clear winner is therefore still open, but it is that Nvidia will lose a few percent of market share of mobile GPUs, and possibly something to lose its prestige. Apple, however, can only draw benefits from this deal: You can offer customers more choice in the future at lower prices.
The Apple iMac is now the only one available with AMD GPU, the Mac Pro as well. Consequently, only Nvidia remains the MacBook Air and Mac mini - the only question is how long
