For all you guys looking at those new Apple notebooks. Rumors are Apple is going to be rocking Nvidia soon.

Chicago (IL) – Last week, we covered the latest wave of rumors surrounding Apple’s October 14 notebook event. And it appears that especially one piece of information is gaining much more traction: Apple in fact may switch to Nvidia chipsets, despite the fact that Apple was not too happy how Nvidia handled its GPU packaging issue. Also, Blu-ray may finally be coming to the Macbook, but we haven’t heard anything about 3G yet.

The latest piece of rumor targeting Apple's special event claims that we will see teh company announce a new range of Macbooks, but this time without the Intel integrated graphics of their predecessors. This time, Apple will be moving on with Nvidia and its new mobile platform. According to AppleInsider, “people familiar with the matter” are saying that Apple will be adopting “chipsets from Nvidia’s MCP79 platform.”

Nvidia has managed to, surprisingly, keep word of the MCP79 platform under wraps for much of the year. Sources are suggesting it will be an alternative to Intel’s Centrino 2 “Montevina” platform, by offering support for FSB1066, DDR3 memory and the PCI Express 2.0 interface. If Apple in fact switches to Nvidia, the possible reasons may include cheaper price points to carry its new entry-level notebooks as well as well as a stronger integrated graphics performance.

We also hear that Blu-ray will become an option on Apple Macbooks, while we are surprised that there are no indications that Apple may begin offering wireless (3G) broadband connectivity for all of its notebooks.
