Nvidia dropped by today to demo some of the awesome matter thatthe GeForce 9400 M in the new MacBookscan do that Intel ’s integrate art just ca n’t disturb , and to discuss a few technological points . Besides confirming that you ’ll see it in other notebooks shortly , they definitively answered some linger questions about the fleck ’s capabilities : It can support up to 8 GB of RAM . It can do on - the - fly sheet GPU switching . And it can work together with the MacBook Pro ’s discrete 9600 M GT . But it does n’t do any of those things . Yet .

Since the ironware is equal to of all of these things , it means that they can all be enabled by a software / firmware / driver update . Whether or not that happens is entirely up to Apple . While you may argue that Hybrid SLI — using both GPUs at once — has a limited , balls - to - the - wall utility , being able to alternate between the integrate 9400 M and distinct 9600 M GT on the fly without leave would plain be enormously well-fixed than the current setup , and give up for some more originative automatic energy preferences — discrete when punch in , integrated on battery . snake pit , you’re able to do it in Windows on some machines .
But since it ’s Apple it ’s also entirely possible we ’ll never see any of this to occur to pass — GPU - accelerated video recording decoding has totally been potential with the 8600 M GT in the premature - gen MacBook Pros , and well , you know where that stands . [ Apple & Nvidia Coverage@Giz ]
