I'm curious what software features were planned that depended on the high-power GPU, which I guess must have been scrapped.
Usually Apple does not ship a new hardware feature without some software feature that showcases it.
At one point Apple seemed all-in on using dot-matrix projections to scan 3D spaces. I wonder if this GPU would have enhanced that capability somehow. Or perhaps it was simply supposed to be the icebreaker for a future M3 chip of some kind.
