Last week Mac introduced it's new lineup of MacBook Pro's and included their new "Thunderbolt" connection which allows for faster data transmitting, this highlight captured most of the headlines from tech bloggers and writers. I think that there is a separate story here, which is the MacBook Pro going with Amd's lineup of Gpu's. For years Nvidia has been a leader in the Gpu marketplace, developing and providing top of the line graphics cards and drivers. Nvidia has been synonymous with execution in the Gpu marketplace delivering the highest capability out of everyone, but the recent shift to Amd's Gpu lineup signifies a large convert in the marketplace.
Amd was known as the original competitor to Intel in the original Cpu market, 5 years ago Amd acquired Ati, the 2nd graphics card maker on the store (to Nvidia). Once Amd acquired Ati they began developing Cpu+Gpu combo chips targeting laptops specifically because they saw the store shifting from a desktop environment to a movable environment. Colse to that same time Nvidia began investing into movable processors because they saw the store shifting as well.

As these two major processor fellowships began shifting their core development principals, the marketplace began to shift as well. Nvidia began to slip a petite in the Gpu department, and gain in the movable market. Amd began to slip in the desktop processor store but gain in the laptop and Gpu market.
Now we begin to see a fully separate scenery in processors. Nvidia is seen as a leader in the movable processor store with it's Tegra lineup, powering such flagship devices as the Verizon Motorola Xoom tablet (the first Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablet on the market), and the At&t Motorola Atrix (the first ready dual-core Android Smartphone). Amd is now a leader in the laptop processor store and the laptop Gpu market. The latest step for Amd was being superior as the Gpu in the newly announce MacBook Pro computers. MacBook Pro's have been the laptop and computer of option for some time now of visible designers and developers, who are in examine of the highest performing visible processors. Three years ago Nvidia would have been an easy option for the Gpu in the MacBook Pro's but now Amd is the choice, not only because their processors consume low number of power but because their execution is through the roof.
In an ever changing marketplace of processors and devices, these two fellowships are shifting their core focus in separate directions and it's hard to tell which ones long term strategy will pay off, but where we are right now Amd has taken a strong stance in the visible marketplace and Nvidia has taken a strong stance in the movable marketplace. It will be intelligent to see how this is all going to play out.
