Kind of disappointment, they are still replacing NVidia chips by AMD. M370X, M290, M290X, M295X... AMD R9 series are known for overheating. M295X (The high end option for iMac) goes up to 105C under recent games and starts throttling. (The clock reduces to avoid melting introducing shutters and frame drops.)

Why the hell does Apple keep going with the SHITTIEST mobile GPU maker on the planet? I just cannot understand. But then again, I am only supposed to consume, not question, I guess... And I say this as a 2011 MBP user (yes, it has AMD graphics ... with pathetically awful OPENCL support from AMD or Apple). Apple, please just use nVidia (or heck, even Intel) and let AMD die the quiet and inglorious death it deserves.

  Probably has to do with GPU licensing. Nvidia wants all GPU makers to pay up, and Apple is a customer of Imagination. Apple probably wants to punish Nv. Yet another example of apple putting its wallet before user experience.
