Locking the industry in to a 9-year old technology whilst killing innovation & tech product diversity.

eGPUs are not the solution. Benchmarks aside, they never delivered in terms of application performance.
Apple has a long road ahead convincing developers to fully re-architect their products so they could release their own discrete GPU options which would work better in the short term. Of course if they do this, there’s less of an incentive for devs to move to UMA.

Apple is far from established and is coming up light on its promises. It has a significant problem & it isn’t the ISA. Until product managers allow significant forks for macOS-specific frameworks (Accelerate & Metal/TBDR) and commit to UMA architecture, as Serif has, Apple Silicon will struggle to demonstrate its value.
It demands a mindset shift away from CPU OR GPU benchmarks to APU or Application benchmarks & preferably not those from an x86 vendor like Puget Systems.

Apple peaked too early with multi-way video conferencing.

Apple Glass? Do we think only one lens will be active like Google’s effort?
