So, Mac Soda has the hot scoop that the new MacBooks, the ones that are already shipping, will be ditching the Intel graphics chipsets for the Nvidia MCP7A-U graphics chipset. Sure it’s embedded and all, but it supports HDMI. If you recall, we told you about this earlier this month. All of this propagates the rumor of a refresh coming next month.
“MCP7A-U is the top class chipset in the MCP7A family. Though it could be named as GeForce 9XXX, it will be come the first mainstream uATX mobo with DDR3-1333 support. Sources inform us the MCP7A-U will be the “fastest mGPU”, but who knows.”

Back then when ATI and AMD joined ventures I told (though in comment form) this was going to happen…
So while i pat myself with my left paw (pat pat pat) i wonder what are the implications, if any, to the hackintosh community (drivers!!!)
But what about MBPs? Integrated graphics won’t do.
