Recent rumors indicates that NVidia might soon offer a new version of its integrated chipset GeForce 9400M that would be compatible with Intel ATOM processor. If the idea of associating a high-end chipset with an entry-level CPU might look weird, for some devices it might well be the optimal solution:
First, the ATOM CPU is a true success for Intel, and figures are way above any optimistic projections, and the current economic slow down will most likely promote the use of entry-level CPU. Concerning potential Apple products, a 9400 M and a dual core ATOM could be the main components of the future revision of the Apple TV. With such hardware, it will offer higher performance levels (especially for 1080p displaying) while being cheaper to produce than the current specific system.
