  • Future Mac Pro may use Apple Silicon & PCI-E GPUs in parallel

    I would love to be totally wrong on this, but after thoroughly reading each patent application it looks like these are the patents for how the Ultra chip (two Max chip linked together through infinity fabric) processes graphic task in tandem, and the infinity fabric link which Apple uses to tie both MAX chips together, and has nothing to do with future multiple dGPU support by Apple. 

    Further evidence of this is that the patent file date is for August 2021 and the Ultra chip debuted in March 2022.

    This doesn’t mean that Apple isn’t working on dGPUs though. And we may very well still see dGPU support come to the new AS MacPros. I just think these patent applications cover the Apple Silicon Ultra’s pair of GPUs talking to each other in tandem.
