I'll expect the future 16-inch Mac Pro to have a more powerful chip - M2? - and support 64GB or more memory, with or without a discrete GPU. So the performance is improved over discrete GPUs, but the shared memory may throttle some graphically intense applications. Graphics resources, such as textures, images and geometry data, can be shared between the CPU and GPU efficiently, with no overhead, as there's no need to copy data across a PCIe bus.
means that the GPU and CPU are working over the same memory. What is Unified Memory? According to Apple: What's more, the touted Unified Memory Architecture just means that 16GB is shared between the CPU and graphics. It doesnt matter that the silicon itself came out in 2016, as long as the rest of the card still works so will that GP104.The new M1 iMac highlights everything that's wrong with AppleĪpple spent a lot of time emphasizing the power of the new M1 chip, but barely mentioned the 16GB memory limitation. Reality most gamers are going to be happy with a 1080 they could get for $250. If miners and big tensor guys want to pay nvidia 10X what gamers will pay for the latest and greatest thats fine. Just create the eco system where last gens compute silicon becomes this gen's gaming silicon. The only other guys paying mining prices right now are the professional compute guys with Teslas and and Quadros - and they already get silicon tuned for certain targets (Tesla T4 gets RTX 2070 super shader/tensor count but at a third the clock speed and on a half height/single slot card). Nvidia and AMD can take their latest and greatest silicon and put it in the hands of miners first and have the gpu, memory, and vrms designed and tuned for mining efficiency. I just think its a reasonable idea to embrace. Absolutely right, my old 1080 was just gifted to a friend as an upgrade and that card can do modern AAA no problem.
