Nvidia will soon launch its Optimus (non-Prime. sub.ed.) technology and we've learned that Intel really likes what Nvidia did this time. The technology is basically Hybrid SLI done right, but it works really well this time around.

Nvidia will soon launch it, but the key point is that Optimus needs Intel’s IGP and lives in symbiosis with the GPU. Once Nvidia launches this technology, it won’t go against Intel’s IGP and will stop preaching that Intel’s HD IGP is bad.

Since many Arrandale equipped notebooks are on the way, and Arrandale has an IGP inside the CPU socket, this was a logical decision for them to make. Jensen is a feisty player but he also knows when it is good to stop and simply make money. 

Intel’s advantage will be that Optimus only works with Intel IGPs and that Intel can defeat AMD even in GPU power, of course with the help of Nvidia GPUs and Optimus.
