Re: Does This Kill The Mac Pro?

You're thinking about this the wrong way...

The monitor that you happen to be using has nothing to do with my argument.
My theory also has nothing to do with how you could configure your computer after you buy it.

Here's my thought, put as simply as I can.

Apple will not release a Thunderbolt equipped computer that doesn't supply display data through the Thunderbolt connection in it's stock configuration. There's two ways they can do that, one is a Custom GPU and the other is a built in GPU. And if they have to custom build it anyway, I think they're very likely to built it unto the computer.


[Jeremy Garchow] "Another crazy theory. What if a Thunderbolt monitor itself had an integrated GPU in it and it was used for display, leaving the dedicated GPU for computation. That might be getting too crazy!
"

I wouldn't be surprised... That would be a great way to add displays. However, I won't be using Apple displays since they're all over priced and underwhelming so until other display manufacturers do this I'll stick to the GPU in my computer.
