Whether or not they think that or they can, they have been developing GPUs for iOS devices. It'll be interesting to see what they do for their desktops.


I agree. I know they're currently using AMD GPUs, but how much longer will they keep using AMD if they believe that their own in house chips can do a better job? Also, I'm curious as to whether they would try to sell their GPUs (iGPU?) to gamers who traditionally don't stay within the Mac ecosystem at all. Having a 3rd major player in the GPU space would be wild.


It helps explain why they haven’t added nvidia support. Apple is going the opposite direction and getting rid of both.

Reportedly 4th as Intel is supposedly trying once again for that market.


Apple uses SOCs, the GPUs are on the same chip as the processor.
