Rumor: NVIDIA has many Calpella notebook design wins

FUD Zilla claims NVIDIA's mobile 40nm graphics cards have received many design wins for Intel's upcoming Calpella notebook platform.
Calpella will move to a new chip design, where the CPU interconnects with the Mobile Intel 5-series express chipset. The CPU will have an integrated memory controller with DDR3 support and Lynnfield will have PCIe support as this upcoming quad core won’t have an integrated IGP in the CPU. The CPU scheduled for Q1 2010, the dual core Arrandale will get the IGP core inside of the CPU packaging in an multi-chip package.

Since the first wave of Calpella notebooks are exclusively quad cores, Nvidia and ATI will compete with its discrete chips and we are hearing that Nvidia is having a better success with its 40nm discrete cores.
