Apple confirmed they won’t be supported during M1 announce week.

  Maybe they discovered some practical problems we don’t know about yet. Will be interesting to follow further dissection. That the hardware is there points towards planned support for me.

    I suspect that the M1 GPU performs so well that it invalidates the need for GPUs for anyone who doesn’t really need a future Mac Pro with M1 blades. More power efficient, compact, etc. I imagine they pointedly don’t care to enable the crypto mining market, so cutting off eGPU is a great way to invalidate their platform as a cost-efficient target for miners, while also ending their silicon driver/support contracts cleanly for non-Apple silicon.

      Thats a shame. I suspect the M1 would blow heavy machines out of the water and become the only machine you've ever need if it could use an external egpu.

        What workloads are you referring to when you say "heavy machines"?
