Apple is contributing Metal support so there’s another chance.

• techdragon 5y ago
  Only because the move to their own customised ARM based unified memory architecture means that if they don’t want to completely hemorrhage the remaining loyal customers in the pro market paying for their hardware they have to support at least basic hardware acceleration in these apps. So don’t expect support on anything but the latest hardware. Like their new Metal based Machine learning library junk. Oh whats that you have an Intel Mac with a beefy external GPU supported by Metal… too bad this is M1 only! Doesn’t matter that we supported this in the beta, we’re throwing out everything Intel related because the future is ARM and we no longer care about anything outside our garden. I say all of this grumpily, as a progressively less and less happy Apple customer. Unless a glorious future of high performance x86 emulation of Virtual machines happens I’m forced to get cheaper hardware and buy a second laptop now in order to support GPU heavy windows software (Linux at least looks set to get some measure of support so hopefully it’s not all dire, but it’s still a massive down side for me in the otherwise amazing looking ARM hardware)

Oh whats that you have an Intel Mac with a beefy external GPU supported by Metal… too bad this is M1 only Note that it’s temporary (as of today) because of bugs in Intel’s Metal graphics drivers. AMD GPUs are supported on TensorFlow/MLCompute. This is not M1 only, just Intel GPUs are excluded.
