Sonnettech has a complete line of PCIe/TB4 external chassis for PCIe cards. This would allow the necessary I/O without investing in a Mac Pro. I've been using a Sonnettech eGPU enclosure for many years with my 2107 iMac Pro. It houses my AMD Rad…

It will be very interesting to see the GPU benchmarks with the new M2 Ultra. Regardless if you choose the Studio or the Mac Pro, there apparently will be NO discrete GPU options.

If the new Mac Studio can reach the GB 6.0.3 Metal benchmark of my current iMac Pro with an eGPU, 192,834, then I'm all in. CPU performance of even the M1 Ultra was good enough for me...

Apple is confusing customers- both new and seasoned- with their erratic processor launches. Still no Mac Pro. Still no 27" iMac. Still running M1 products in the iMac and the Mac Studio. You can buy an M2 Max, but not in the Studio. You can't buy …

This is my 2017 iMac Pro. While it's often stated that the graphics performance doesn't matter, this 5+ year old machine still beats ANY of the Metal benchmarks of M1 or M2-based Macs. Graphics performance matters! More and more photo apps use the…

The ONLY reason I can think of to buy a Wintel laptop is to play games. I use both Wintel and Macs on a daily basis, and MacOS is better in every way. One of these days Intel will have to move to an ARM design, it's just a matter of time.

If there was some code in the MacOS 13.3 Beta release, this may be a bit more believable.

Long-term there isn’t any reason for Apple to support third-party, GPUs, Nvidia, and AMD or any other third-party company, Apple has been there done that, and is just going to hold Apple back down the road, if Apple supports third-party cards in th…

thadec said: So, there never has been any reason for Apple Silicon Macs not supporting discrete graphics via M.2, PCIE or Thunderbolt other than Apple simply not wanting to. Which was the same reason why Apple locked Nvidia out of the Mac e…

It will be interesting to see if the developers can find any hints of new hardware coming in this Beta release.

This would be very useful if it comes to pass! It would give 3D graphics users the "best of both worlds," SOC GPUs and discrete GPUs. My eGPU on my 6 year-old iMac Pro breathed new life into it. While its CPU performance isn't even up to the origi…

The GB6 Metal GPU result with my AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT eGPU has gone up from 16335 in GB5.5 to 194703 in GB6. It would be interesting to know how those workloads have changed.

Oh and one more thing- Apple, whatever you are going to do just DO IT and stop all of the useless speculation!

I think Gurman is dead wrong. It makes no sense. Why would Apple spend the money to create the Studio only to kill it in a single product iteration? If they haven't sold enough Studios over the last year, that's one thing. Killing a product that …

Any rumors as to when the Studio will be upgraded to M2 Max and M2 Ultra? I would guess it would have to be soon since I bet the M2 Pro Mac Mini has probably killed demand for the M1 Max version of the Studio.

blastdoor said: Good comments discussion of GPU performance. In order for the Mac Pro to compete with 'pro' level Windows/Linux systems using high-end discrete GPUs, I wonder if Apple needs to either (1) continue to include high-end discret…

The 2023(?) ASi "Mac Pro" must either be able to reach the 166,946 GB5 GPU results either with on-chip GPU cores or by a discrete graphics card like the existing Intel Mac Pro, otherwise, why bother to even release it?
