That is the reason why I think at least one of the MB Pros will be available on Apple Silicon from the start, I am just not sure they will start with the 16", as they would have to replace a dedicated GPU for that machine.

- _ph_ 6y agoBecause one important feature of the large MB Pro is the availability of a dedicated GPU making it a decent graphics machine when connected to an external screen. I am certainly stressing the GPU of mine :)
- ogre_codes 6y agoMy thinking is this is exactly the use-case Apple needs to prove they can compete with and arguably the case where they should shine. With ARM's much better thermal characteristics, Apple should be able to get much better graphics performance. It's certainly the tougher nut to crack.
- Veedrac 6y agoYou are massively underestimating the performance of Apple's GPUs. They can beat the 5600M. https://www.reddit.com/r/hardware/comments/hgahzx/apple_gpu_performance_projections/ https://www.reddit.com/r/hardware/comments/hgahzx/apple_gpu_...
