Do you think we will see Pro Macs based on Apple Silicon that will include traditional GPUs? ARM GPUs are powerful, but I don’t think you can really match the performance of the Radeon Pro 5600M or a Vega II Duo with an SoC....

 

Does not seem like any documentation has been released explicitly saying that dGPUs will remain around though.

    probably. ARM has support for pci-e, just like everything else. same with risc-v. those systems work with normal gpu's if the drivers are compiled for them. apple would have to make drivers or hire dev time at AMD to do it, but it's certainly possible.

    Based on Apples current trend I'd be surprised if they don't completely phase out inter-compatibility with non-apple hardware some day.

    @RorzNZ of course it can. it's just a cpu architecture. it has pci-e support afaik, and there is also this: https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-brings-cuda-to-arm-enabling-new-path-to-exascale-supercomputing
