GeForce 9400 M New Macbook Pro. base graphics GeForce 9400 M New Macbook Pro for MacBook, MacBook Pro

Apple has tapped NVIDIA's new GeForce 9400 M New Macbook Pro as the base graphics 
for its new MacBook, MacBook Pro, and updated MacBook Air.

Steve Jobs says due to GeForce 9400 M New Macbook Pro the notebook will be five times 
faster than the current Intel integrated graphics they've been using. 

GeForce 9400 M New Macbook Pro is aided in no small part by the chipset's 16 parallel 
graphics cores, not to mention a generally beefier GPU that occupies 
a full 70% of the die area. 

If GeForce 9400 M New Macbook Pro is not enough for you, Apple is also throwing NVIDIA's 
9600M GT into the MacBook Pro, which'll give you two GPUs and either 
256MB or 512MB of memory. 

GeForce 9400 M New Macbook Pro or 9600M GT power will unsurprisingly come at the expense 
of some battery life, however, with the 9600 cutting things back to four 
hours from the five hours you can expect with the discrete GPU switched off. 

In the Q&A after the announcement, Apple also confirmed that it'd be the first 
taking the chipset GeForce 9400 M New Macbook Pro or 9600M GT to market, but that anything 
further is up to NVIDIA. 

Expect to hear more about that tomorrow, when NVIDIA is supposedly making its 
own announcement on GeForce 9400 M New Macbook Pro or 9600M GT.
