Will MacBook chip end Intel graphics franchise?

Will Apple's decision to use Nividia chips in its new MacBooks be a catalyst for change?

With all the hoopla surrounding Apple's choice of Nvidia graphics in its new MacBooks fading, it remains to be seen if Nvidia's GeForce 9400M has legs.

I would not care lol.

I was never a fan of Intel's crappy graphics cards they put in computers that could hardly display the desktop without slowing down lol

Yeah...I am sure that Apple sells like 95% of all notebooks in the world...

I am sure Intel and its graphics department will do fine.

They will be paying attention though, as one in 5 laptops sold in the US during July and August this year have been Apples - and they raked in 35% of all the revenue. Dell, HP, Lenovo and all the others split up the other 80%...
