Re: Does This Kill The Mac Pro?

At first, John-Michael, I didn't understand you, but now I see where you are coming from. I apologize.

[John-Michael Seng-Wheeler] "One of those options is being able to chose a GPU. If apple switches to an onboard GPU, as I'm arguing they're forced to by adding Thunderbolt, then your options will be limited to one or two GPUs which you can't change later, and unless Apple and nVidia get their act together, that means ATI and therefor no CUDA."

I guess I don't understand why you couldn't change the GPU. Are you saying that the thunderbolt port is the traffic cop in the MacPro?

I don't think it works like that, or maybe it does?

[John-Michael Seng-Wheeler] "I see Thunderbolt as forcing Apple to drop PCIe... And PCIe is the reason people buy Mac Pros."

But thunderbolt is part pcie, so how and why would apple drop pcie?
