Live Coverage of Apple's WWDC 2017 Keynote: iOS 11, macOS 10.13, Notebooks, iPad Pros, and More

External GPUs

 

[redheeler]

Apple mentioning eGPUs, that I didn't expect. Thunderbolt 3 only though, of course. :/

 

[anthorumor]

Hold the stops... official external graphics support on the Mac?
THAT's BIG!!

 

[Wowereit]

eGPU support

 

[ElderBrE]

GAME CHANGER. Finally! (eGPU)

 

[Che Castro]

h.265 is a big one actually

But not for iTunes movies and 4k

 

[Populus]

If PERFORMANCE is going to be the main core of High Sierra, and it performs buttery smooth, I'm totally OK with this new Snow Leopard. Also, all the Metal 2 stuff and machine learning looks pretty well...

 

[AustinIllini]

macOS High Sierra.. I'm done.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out!

 

[KPOM]

Where are the cool original names???

"High Sierra"
"Metal 2"

Sounding like bad movie sequels

Now I'm thinking the next iPhone will be called iPhone 7 - The New Phone

High Sierra is like the Snow Leopard name. This is a mostly behind the scenes update.

 

[Nismo73]

Moving through this to get to those hardware updates.

 

[ThisBougieLife]

VR too Can't wait for some new desktops

 

[Olz]

Ahh, so this is how Apple will deliver VR on future Macs with weak GPUs

 

[MH01]

If egpu works with Mac Pro and others, this is huge

 

[PortableLover]

eGPU so has apple pretty much said their internal gpus are crap?

 

[HiRez]

Very interesting they are highlighting VR. This is definitely new.

 

[Nueve]

Vr on the mac? FTW

 

[Romy90210]

Metal 2??? so 1990.. I prefer plastic...

 

[Ries]

Most likely it's performing the true transfer in the background....you just won't realize it

No, the data isn't duplicated, the new files point to the same data on the disk until you start modifying parts of the files.

 

[jonnysods]

This seems rushed today

 

[Dorje Sylas]

Hold the stops... official external graphics support on the Mac?
THAT's BIG!!

That's what it sounded like, at least in early stages, until Apple decides its not worth and drops in macOS 10.15.

 

[BenTrovato]

VR has arrived

 

[jdillings]

You might be seeing more on this from us later today....hardware update confirmed

 

[MrGimper]

Have to say, bit of a yawn-fest so far

 

[bsolar]

Most likely it's performing the true transfer in the background....you just won't realize it

Or just copy-on-write.

 

[JayIsAwesome]

Apple getting into the VR game. Hmm

 

[lec0rsaire]

Why can't they go back to using animals for names? MacOS Viper MacOS Cobra MacOS Murcielago? High Sierra is really the worst name ever. Even Longhorn was a better name.
