Apple to switch back to NVIDIA GPUs for 2012 MacBooks

Apple may be switching back to using NVIDIA graphics processors for its 2012 Models of the MacBook, the return of NVIDIA GPUs is believed to start next spring when Apple notebooks are also expected to be refreshed with Intel next-gen Ivy Bridge chips.

Apple had booted NVIDIA about three years ago in favor of AMD chipsets, but the recent issues with AMD Llano supply capacities and the failed attempt at implementing them in the latest MacBook Airs have forced Apple to switch back.
