Reminds me of the GPU manufacturers who keep releasing new cards this year... even though it's difficult to buy the cards they introduced last year.
The chip shortage, scalpers, and cryptominers are to blame... but still. Why create new models when they can't supply enough of the current models?
Arguments that don't even make sense. CPUs are getting made regardless of your feelings.
Because technology advancement doesn't slow down when manufacturing can't meed demands.
Hmm - Say Apple's GPUs are exceptional - might they become darlings of crypto-miners?
there are already a couple of Mac-only data centers with a rack of Mac minis already doing this.
BL.
It’ll still outperform the current 16” MBP. They could put an M1 in with support chips to handle more IO and that’d still be a solid release.
Depends on how they’re priced. But, with the cryptominers pushing up the price of GPU-only purchases, maybe those are actually already close to the price of these new machines LOL
