NVIDIA announced yesterday the GeForce 9400 and 9300 motherboard GPUs which offer desktop equivalents to the NVIDIA mobile chips adopted by Apple in their new notebooks:
These new mGPUs give NVIDIA a big advantage over other integrated graphics chips, said Dr. Jon Peddie of Jon Peddie Research. By doing so much parallel processing on a single chip, they can accelerate the new visual computing applications people are getting, and at a reasonable price. The GeForce 9400 and 9300 mGPUs set a new standard for what users should expect from todays more mainstream desktop systems.
It's not clear if this technology would find any use in future Apple Macs.
