InsideMacGames spoke with ATI regarding the inclusion of the ATI Radeon X1600 series in the new Intel Macs. The new graphics hardware is a welcome boost to Apple's hardware line.
According to ATI, they've been working closely with Apple to get the ATI hardware working alongside the new Intel Macs.
Close work was done alongside Apple during development, and features such as the color depth display engine and the VIVO technology were greatly influenced by Apple's input.

The new X1600 offers accelerated MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and H.264 decoding.
