There was some bad history between Apple and Nvidia. Perhaps with a new generation of leadership at Apple things might change. https://www.reddit.com/r/hardwar

- firecall 5mo agoMaybe with Tim and Jensen going on holiday together in China, the relationship might be healed somewhat. Things have moved on since the days where GPUs in Macs were a priority. But then the AI race has changed things. So who knows - maybe we will one day see official eGPU support from Apple and new drivers from nVidia. Wouldn't put on money on it though....
- mercutio2 5mo agoI wasn't in the room when it happened, but this is very different than the story told internally about why Apple became allergic to Nvidia. Arguably more petty. SJ has been dead for almost 15 year now, I imagine the C-suite might get over it at some point.
- kalleboo 5mo ago> Arguably more petty I can believe it. IIRC Jobs also snubbed ATI once after they leaked the GPUs going in the next PowerMac model.
- burnte 5mo ago> I imagine the C-suite might get over it at some point. Not at Apple. They have a looooooong institutional memory that's passed down. They're still pissed at Gizmodo. I'm shocked they made a deal with Intel. I think if it hadn't been for the global political uncertainty right now they would not have signed that fab deal with Intel.
- runjake 5mo agoDo tell. Or at least provide hints?
