Apple's next laptops to ditch NVIDIA for Intel Discrete Graphics?

Apple's next laptops to ditch NVIDIA for Intel Discrete Graphics?

This is one Apple rumor which I hope never sees the light of day. According to the guys over at SemiAccurate (A sign of things to come?), Apple has ditched NVIDIA's next-generation Kepler graphics chip from a “large number” of upcoming laptops. Apparently, Apple will be going instead with the Intel Ivy Bridge CPUs with integrated graphics that offers a higher number of shader counts, which should make up the difference, the key word here of course being SHOULD. The reason for this change? Apparently, they can't make enough Kepler chips.

“Nvidia can't supply, so Apple threw them out on their proverbial magical experience.
