Could Apple Use Via or AMD Processors in Upcoming MacBook Models?

By

Apple might have decided its partnership with Intel doesn’t mean it has to use all of Intel’s products. AppleInsider reports that Apple could be using a chipset from a different company–or even an internally developed one–in the next iteration of the MacBook, expected to arrive in the next six or eight weeks.

AppleInsider thinks Apple might have contracted with Advanced Micro Devices or Via for the new chipsets, but offers no details on what might actually be inside the new systems. Given Nvidia’s huge mobile chipset problem this summer, it is probably not in the running if Apple’s looking at other suppliers.
