Apple Said to be ‘Ditching’ Nvidia (Rumor)

A number of sites are following on a report from newcomer website semiaccurate (as in “half-accurate”?) that says that Apple plans to ditch NVIDIA chips and that the relation amidst the two is deteriorating. The composition additionally hints to NVIDIA’s recent woes with chip defects.

The “ditching” of NVIDIA chips would come from the fact that Apple would use Core i7 chips in the future. The thing that semiaccurate does not mention is that Nvidia does not have a chipset product for that space and is still in a dispute with Intel on the Core i7 front side bus topic. So yeah, whether Apple was to use Core i7 today, Nvidia can’t sell them anything… signal that “ditching” whether you want. Core i7 chips for laptops are scheduled to be released in the second half of the year.
