I'm sure Apple can likewise convince millions of customers to settle for Apple GPUs for certain models of Macs. Intel managed to persuade millions of customers to settle for built-in Intel Iris graphics.

You bought Apple's monitor, so you accept Apple's video technology with it. So based on those, an Apple Silicon Mac Pro with a. We also have the Geekbench 5 compute numbers for the M1 with 8 GPU cores, which is around 22,000. The iMac is unlikely to support external GPUs, because of its built-in monitor. Those produce from about 190,000 to 220,000.A single 5K monitor would use 60% of Thunderbolt 3 bandwidth and a 6K monitor (or dual 4K monitors) would use 75% of the bandwidth. The Mac Mini (future versions) might support external GPUs, but I wouldn't count on it. The Mac Mini (and iMac) would burn most of its Thunderbolt 3 bandwidth (at least for one of its two busses) on video traffic if it allowed people to obtain external GPUs for 6K monitors.Apple will not add an extra layer of API translation which nVidia expects to be built into macOS. I don't think nVidia is willing to support the Metal 2 API in their video cards' firmware. The future Mac Pro is likely to support 'decent GPUs.' Although I'm not sure how you define the word 'decent.' If your definition includes nVidia GPUs, then no.(a) the Mac Pro or (b) the Mac Mini or (c) the iMac? Depending on what you meant, I have different opinions: Really hoping we're finally getting decent GPU's on the mac.
