Where are the ATI GPUs in the new MacBook Pros?

nvidia

We’d heard that the new MacBook Pros that launched today were going to feature new ATI GPUs, but here we are, they’re launched, and they feature NVIDIA GeForce chipsets instead. Or that should be “still”, as that’s what the MacBook Pros have had standard all along.

Video editors in particular want ATI, but Apple keeps going with NVIDIA. What gives?

Better performance with Nvidia perhaps?

Umm… My Rev D Macbook Pro has an ATI Radeon X1600 in it (standard!)… they launched with ATI GPUs, and switched to Nvidia with the Core 2 Duo MPBs… The Original Core Duo MBPs have ATI graphics processors.

Could it be that ATI is now part of AMD and Intel could be interfering?
