Apple has renewed its notebook line during the special event on October 14. The tests carried out immediately apparent that the gap between the MacBook and MacBook Pro has narrowed considerably by adopting the portable consumer card Nvidia GeForce 9400M graphics chip instead of Intel GMA X3100. The GeForce 9400M
still shares memory with the system, but has its own graphics processing unit (and the 9400M shares 256MB DDR3 SDRAM memory, compared with the previous MacBook 144MB DDR2 SDRAM).
All this translates into good news for those who want to play with the aluminum MacBook. The graphics test was performed with some very challenging games such as Quake 4 (whose engine has been adopted by other games of "cry") and Call of Duty 4, and the result is that now you can finally play on a MacBook a good graphic detail.
The GeForce 9400M is supplied as well as on the MacBook Aluminum MacBook Pro also Uniboy and behaves the same way. In addition, the "pro" has a second graphics chip, the Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT, which provides an extra boost and you can set up games with a frame rate higher for a more detailed graph.
Basically the difference between the MacBook and MacBook Pro is the first in the absence of Firewire, as well as in smaller display (13 "against 15" of the pro).
As for the other tests have been carried out a series of routine operations, such as ZIP compression for a folder of documents, applying a filter to an iMovie movie, a series tasks with Photoshop CS3, a test renderig and encode an MPEG file:
