Intel and Apple disagree about future processors
Intel is preparing to launch their new mobile platform processors. We’re talking about the lines that are currently called Arrandale and Calpella, and one of the features on these new processors is the integration of a graphic CPU. Apple has clearly manifested their disagreement on that choice and has already started to ask for processors that do not feature an integrated GPU.
The reason behind Apple’s decision is simple: they want to be free to install nVidia or ATI components, that currently present better performances thanks to the great compatibility obtained with OpenCL (one of the technologies that are currently featured on Snow Leopard). Currently, the problem is only seen on mobile processors, hence, all the Apple products that use it: the next Mac Mini, MacBook and MacBook Pro.
