oh boy, no more intel chips internally.

 

[ic1male]

And there was me thinking of transitioning to iMac but that is going to break Windows Boot Camp now isn't it and practically all the existing Mac game library.

 

[Mr_Cool]

Didn’t they buy Intels chip division

nvm it was their modem business.

 

[Steedie]

And there was me thinking of transitioning to iMac but that is going to break Windows Boot Camp now isn't it.

Absolutely not, Apple will have sorted that long before it's released. Too many companies using Windows virtualisation and Boot Camp to let that happen

It depends on how ARM/Apple Silicon is going to virtualize x86, or if it's going to at all. Or you could go Windows ARM haha.

They will still need a third party GPU provider though won't they?

 

[Deleted member 77746]

I don't think they want windows to run on their systems.

 

[Feek]

I’m a little concerned because I still have a handful of Windows apps that I need to run from time to time via a VM. Will I still be able to do that? I appreciate it’s a rhetorical question at the moment.

Anyone want some Fish n Chips ?

You won't know until it's released. Unless something like VMare changes their software to run on the new chip.

 

[Throrik]

There we go, Universal Two potentially a good option.

They have used in house GPU's for years in the phones and ipads.

 

[Feek]

This is a repeat of Jobs’ announcement from PowerPC to Intel!

 

[chrismscotland]

Adobe working on Creative Cloud; hopefully they can get the finger out on Windows ARM as well

 

[squerble]

Interesting Big Sur is listed at Version 11.0. So I guess this is effectively OSX gone now.

 

[Danthus]

They have used in house GPU's for years in the phones and ipads.

They use AMD GPU's at the minute.

 

[Throrik]

I have no real experience in Image Editing or Video Editing, but that on the fly application of filters on 4k looks crazy.

 

[Steedie]

They use AMD GPU's at the minute.

In Intel Macs yeah, but iPhones and iPads use inhouse GPUs, they've even said the new Macs will as well. I'd imagine for Pro machines, they'll offer AMD hardware as an option

 

[b0rn2sk8]

I guess we can expect new Mac's running on Apple's chips in the fall?

 

[Deleted member 77746]

This is a repeat of Jobs’ announcement from PowerPC to Intel!

You where right... Rosetta 2!

 

[fez]

While it's old news, Intel must have lost a big chunk of change from losing Apple

Intel deserve the fall they are currently suffering. Rested on their laurels for far too long and took the **** with their pricing.
