GPU

Apple charges a premium for build-to-order Mac upgrades, but the company has now lowered prices on the memory and flash storage build-to-order options which are available through its online store.

This is a great option for people who own a lower-end notebook (or fans of the new Mac mini) and would like to play modern games without having to buy a whole new computer.

The company appears to be on the verge of addressing the GPU situation on the Mac by permitting the likes of Nvidia to write their own GPU drivers for macOS using official APIs.

Intel yesterday unveiled its tenth-generation processors code-named “Ice Lake” that while bringing only modest compute improvements accelerate tasks such as machine learning, encryption, video compression, encoding and decoding by a large margin.... Read the rest of this post here "Intel’s...

If your Thunderbolt 3-equipped Mac's graphics performance isn't up to snuff, an external graphics processor (eGPU) may do the trick. Here's how they work.

BlackMagic's eGPU products now support Apple's 6K display via a version 1.2 software update available for both the Blackmagic and Blackmagic Pro users.

Imagination and Apple have signed a new license agreement allowing the latter to use Imagination's intellectual property in its own designs in exchange for license fees.

CPUTool is a newly-released jailbreak tweak that purportedly lets iPhone and iPad users underclock their device's CPU and/or GPU for increased battery life.

It's unclear whether the eGPU Pro might return at a later stage with a beefier graphics chip. The more affordable $699 eGPU from BlackMagic continues to be available for the time being.

Apple is expected to announce a switch to its own ARM-based processors for Mac notebooks and desktops at its virtual WWDC event, which kicks off June 22.

Apple should refresh the iMac, its all-in-one desktop computer, at the upcoming virtual WWDC event that kicks off June 22.

Brace yourselves for another amazing transition, this time we're moving from Intel's industry-standard CPU to chips based on ARM technology designed from scratch by Apple.

The first generation of the M1 chip maxes out at 16 gigabytes of RAM and it doesn't support external GPUs over Thunderbolt.

Big Sur appears to detect a connected eGPU over Thunderbolt 3 on Apple Silicon Macs even though it does nothing.

The first developer beta of macOS Big Sur 11.4 includes new graphics drivers that permit Intel-based Macs to connect to some GPUs from AMD based on the Navi RDNA2 architecture. ... Read the rest of this post here "macOS Big...

Additional computing and graphics cores will boost speeds for heavy duty tasks like video editing and programming.

Apple silicon Mac Pro could merge two M1 Ultra processors into a single mega chip rocking up to 40 CPU cores, a cool 128 GPU cores, up to 256GB of RAM and more.
