Indeed, I was more dovetailing off of the comparisons between the Surface RT and Surface Pro, where the latter has the HD 4000, and the GP's discussion about "Intel's" verus "Apple's" GPUs. As you mentioned in their nascent "mobile" chips they're using PowerVR (as I mentioned, apparently even the HD 4000 is licensed and derived from PowerVR), and they have all of the same capacity as Apple to choose whichever GPU they want.
- dragontamer 14y agoMakes sense. Although for your last comment... http://semiaccurate.com/2013/01/02/apples-silicon-design-capabilities-increase/#.USeOomfVKUk http://semiaccurate.com/2013/01/02/apples-silicon-design-cap... For those without a subscription. That site is spreading a rumor that Apple has bought out a top-tier AMD grpahics team. Considering that Apple is now designing their own chips, and just headhunted an entire AMD (former ATI) team, we can see where Apple is going. Apple does not want to be relying on commodity parts. They are positioning themselves to build a custom GPU a few years down the line. So Intel currently can catch up to Apple GPU performance by just buying the latest PowerVR graphics. But will they be able to do that in the future, if Apple creates their own top-tier custom GPU?
