![]() Which is a real shame because Apple Silicon’s biggest weakness is in the area of graphics processing. For example, you still cannot run an eGPU over Thunderbolt on Apple Silicon Macs. For example, while yes their designs can support high amounts of PCIE lanes (it’s trivial to do this), it’s quite obvious that they’re having issues with drivers and firmware in supporting GPUs. Other issues with regard to modularity remain. Either they will price gouge the hell out of their customers - in which case why would you buy a Mac Pro and not just go with a Linux based workstation running on the aforementioned AMD or Intel platforms - or they will have to take a hit on their Mac Pro margins. Secondly, unlike AMD and Intel who can use economies of scale to recoup high R&D and manufacturing costs, Apple won’t have that luxury. Secondly, they will need perhaps a ringbus design for internal traffic and inter core and memory communication. Sticking to on-package memory doesn’t allow you enough capacity. If they really plan on going head-to-head with AMD’s Genoa/Milan or Intel’s Sapphire/Granite Rapids, they’re going to have to re-architect their memory design to use a combination of HBM and external (upgradable) DIMMs. On memory bandwidth: it’s not just raw bandwidth that Apple needs to worry about, but also memory capacity too. The primary hurdles with adding more cores to your CPU are 1) feeding the cores with enough memory bandwidth and inter-core communication and 2) exponentially higher manufacturing costs as die size increases. I think the poster you responded to was making a more subtle argument. Just looking at benchmarks though I'd consider a sale for the portable M1 max over it though: I'm sure you're still able to get some usage out of em. So, yeah, I hope I didn't make you feel bad at all. you gotta worry about support too, but I bet they at least give you 5-6 years of total support so there's that. Not only does it keep up and outperform it even, but you van do so mobilely. I would be kicking myself if I bought it right before unless maaaaybe it paid for itself and then some via work, but even then, if that was the case I either would have considered selling and going with M1 Max or had it to begin with. The M1 outperforms ghat puppy on less and even at almost half price to boot. To me, that would suck to get the MB Pro, RIGHT BEFORE, the M series came out. ![]() This subreddit is not endorsed or sponsored by Apple Inc.Īre you being sarcastic? Honestly couldn't tell.
