Apple MacBook to get NVIDIA MCP7A chipset?

Posted on Sunday, September 21 2008 @ 20:51 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck

Word is flying around that Apple's upcoming MacBook, which is expected to be announced in October, may feature NVIDIA's new MCP7A-U IGP chipset.

This chipset features (relatively) fast integrated graphics and should play Blu-ray really well. If Apple wants to debut notebooks with integrated graphics and Blu-ray support the MCP7A will probably be their best choice, the Intel G45 IGP chipset can't play Blu-ray well and AMD chipsets aren't an alternative as Apple will very likely remain loyal to Intel processors.
