InorganicMatter Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I have huge doubts that Apple will do a chipset overhaul. They are the last company that does drastic changes in product lineup (in fact, the only really big one I remember was the PPC >> x86 switch). They aren't like HP where they jump between Intel/AMD every fiscal quarter.

They aren't like HP where they jump between Intel/AMD every fiscal quarter. Partnership of HP is not very strong at this moment. They swims between two waves... and financial quarter to another! Good job if Apple do this, and a great move to release Intel for better architecture. I hope so Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/129715-nvidia-powered-macbooks-on-october-14th/#findComment-919158 Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Massman Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 say this does happen? what does this mean for people using integrated nvidia graphics with shared memory? would these new macbooks be using shared memory graphics in keeping with the gma950 or a standalone nvidia card? and saying they did use shared memory nvidia cards, what would be the likelyhood of older shared cards such as the 6150 getting up and running with a few hacks?

Maxintosh Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 According to a Apple dealer the date will be the 16th, not the 14th, but hey... as long as it happens Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/129715-nvidia-powered-macbooks-on-october-14th/#findComment-927678 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankOS_Scripting Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 GMA x3100 is not a extraordinary GPU. If Mac can swept away this creation of lucifer and make lead our products to the top, it's better to use powerful GPU and chipset!!
