Apple builds in its next set of MacBook Pro’s no AMD gpu’s more, these are rumors. The manufacturer would for the laptops again for videochips from Nvidia to choose from. The reason for the alleged switch is not known.
The next MacBook Pro line will appear almost certainly after the introduction of the Ivy Bridge processors from Intel, which is probably around march 2012 arrive. Those models go to Nvidia gpus contain in place of Radeon chips, claims to accurate semi, that a mixed reputation with rumors, but it seems to have some well-informed sources what AMD is concerned.
The site suggests that Apple with the transition, AMD wants to punish them, because the chip maker this year is not enough Llano-apus could supply for MacBook Airs. Apple would be on it for Intel’s energy efficient Sandy Bridge models have been chosen. This reason, however, seems far-fetched.
If Apple indeed for Nvidia to choose, is striking. The manufacturer seemed to be the last time exclusively for AMD to choose what gpu’s are concerned. The youngest generations of MacBook Pro’s and iMacs contain Radeon-videochips. This would also have to deal with the extensive hitteproblemen that allows certain Geforce gpus for notebooks in 2008 were.
According to previous rumors Apple will be in the design of new MacBooks on the shovel; the 15″ and 17″notebooks were to become thinner, and elements of the MacBook Air over it. Possible to play both energy consumption and heat build-up and a role in the choice for Nvidia. The next gpu generations from both AMD and Nvidia on 28nm produced. AMD seems to be with the move to 28nm, while Nvidia ceo Jen-Hsun Huang at the last publication of the quarterly figures said their 28nm production of the Kepler gpu ‘soon’ would start. Also, he said that Nvidia more contracts for the supply of notebooks-gpu’s than ever, and that was the reason that his company is in the development of Kepler more on energy efficiency.
