there is an extra graphics card in the old macbooks too. to activate it (it's really fast with some optimized apps and speeds up many other graphics tasks too) you need to relogin. 

The new macs have a better power management and do this switch when needed (among other switchings to save energy and optimize speed). This is how they manage to squeeze 10 hours of using out of the new ones.
