But can it run Doom?

Better. It can run pong at 240hz

To be exact. That’s if you get the Ultra Chip with at least 128gb of RAM. To be fair, the standard release of this chip will run Pong @ 5hz; something to do with the new magic mindmesh capture detection.

Damn, apple is way ahead of the game on big memory GPU workloads for home AI research.

Am I crazy or is a 72 core GPU a thing from like 1985? Modern GPUs are measured in CUDA cores and are in the 1,000-3,000 range with modern cards.

CUDA cores are very different from other GPU cores. They will likely do at most 2 and normally 1 operation per clock cycle. These GPU cores will be doing dozens of operations per clock cycle.

You are saying a bowl of rice is more food than a massive steak since you get hundreds of rice in the bowl compared to one steak.

I mean thats kind of why i asked if i was crazy. I haven’t ever seen a gpu measured in cores the same way cpus are. For reference how many apple version cores would a top -middle tier Nvidia gpu have?

I don’t have a clue really. Nvidia GPUs also have the new tensor cores that handle some workloads.

An easier comparison is probably to something like the amd ryzen processors where the integrated gpu has 7 or 8 vega cores. Each of these is likely at least in the same order of magnitude of performance as the m-series gpu cores.

Didnt Apple drop out of the rackmount server business 10 years ago?

WOW meaningless numbers because they can't really be compared especially on the GPU side..

Also personally Apple really should just kill the Mac Pro like I don't see how they can make a better product then what they currently sell with their silicon because part of the reason the Mac pro is good and is A REAL PRO PRODUCT is that the user can easily access the parts and even upgrade and swap them out!

Also I highly doubt the GPU will be better because the GPUs on the high end of the mac pros are very good and are products people use for work meaning there's a level of reliability and they're even certified for specific applications which is why they're also very expensive. Like I don't see how Apple can really do that.

Maybe it's the IMac pro which would actually make a ton of sense given where the fuck is the IMac pro especially given their fantastic displays they could really make great all in one.
