In addition, musicians can use it, so can photographers and YouTubers to cut their videos. But how does that help the people who have to do research?Īt this point (and of course that can change in the future), Apple is really good for reading/writing, browsing the web and emails. But what should we expect when Apple is using Linux and Nvidia to train their own AI? Once the research is done, it's easy to convert models to support metal including GPU and Neural Engine for inference. It's bugged, doesn't fully work, it's in a useless state. Apple did a Tensorflow fork a while back. Things like Tensorflow, Pytorch, Carla, AirSim, other simulators and frameworks either don't fully work or are a major pain to work with unless one is ok with CPU only support. Nvidia software won't work, no problem (well, not really but expected and acceptable). The state of the software world is catastrophic and simply not worth to bother with. When Apple dropped Nvidia we had to start working around problems, with OpenCL. While I love the AS SoCs, for most of the scientific world, macOS is almost dead at this point (Intel or AS). Why not transition to silicon? Or is it because they haven’t figured out the GPU tech?Īpple is facing a much larger problem than GPU integration or hardware in general. Apple has already begun transitioning the iMac, MacBook Pro, Mac mini, and MacBook Air lines to Apple silicon. The Intel-based ‌Mac Pro‌ that's in the works with Intel's W-3300 Ice Lake chips could be one of the last Intel Macs that Apple will develop. While Apple is transitioning its Mac lineup to Apple silicon and is developing a version of the ‌Mac Pro‌ that will run an Apple silicon chip, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has said that Apple will also update the Intel Mac Pro.Īpple is working on a smaller ‌Mac Pro‌ that's about half the size of the original and that is expected to include an Apple silicon chip, but alongside it, the company is also developing a new version of the current ‌Mac Pro‌. This top of the line chip features 57MB of cache and a 4.0GHz clock speed. Ice Lake chips for the ‌Mac Pro‌ would offer up to 38 cores and 76 threads, with the Xeon W-3775 positioned as Intel's top chip in the lineup. Apple’s MacPro 2022 seems to use Intel’s Xeon-W 33xx series processors.
