NVIDIA Issues Leading Apple to Pursue Integrated Intel Graphics for Mid-Range Notebooks? (Macrumors)
Following reports from late last year indicating that Apple would be switching
back to NVIDIA for graphics chips in its next MacBook Pro update,
_SemiAccurate_ now reports that NVIDIA's issues with GPU production are
apparently leading Apple to rely more heavily on Intel's integrated graphics.
Apple has reportedly been ordering beefed-up integrated graphics from Intel on
its Ivy Bridge platform, a development the report claims would be pointless if
the chipsets were to be paired with discrete graphics chips from NVIDIA.
> Apple upped their SKUs from parts bearing awful Intel GPUs to variants with
more of those awful shaders. Since those Ivy Bridge CPUs are going in to
laptops that have a GPU, upping the shader count from 6 to 16 should be a
waste, they will never be turned on.
If they are going to be turned on, that would mean that the discrete GPU in
those machines is either going to be much higher spec’d, or it won’t be there.
With NVIDIA struggling to produce even lower-end Kepler graphics chips, the
report suggests that the latter option is more likely and expects that Apple
may be bumping integrated-only graphics into the mid-range ...
