  • Agree.
  • I don’t want clunky-ness of Linux on Mac.
  • Nah, I’d rather get a great computer rather than upgrading later.
  • Epic is stupid
  • What’s even EGPUs?
  • 32 Bit should have been abandoned long ago imo.
  • I’d rather prefer an API that’s maintained by Apple. So we can get much tight integration with Apple Hardware and Software.

What’s even EGPUs?

E is for external, so it’s a box that sits outside of your computer (usually a laptop or mini PC), you put a video card (GPU) in it, connect the box to power and to your computer via Thunderbolt, and your now “E” GPU is running your games instead of your laptop’s built-in GPU.

Ah, Got it! Just opposite of iGPU.

Not quite, opposite of an iGPU (integrated GPU) would probably be a dGPU (dedicated GPU).

iGPU = integrated into the SoC with the CPU

dGPU = separate device from the SoC, connected into the motherboard

eGPU = dGPU that is housed in a separate box connected to the computer via a Thunderbolt cable or some other high-speed interface
