  • The new TSMC Silicon powered MacBook Pro can't use an eGPU (support for all non-Apple GPUs would be dropped)

    Verbatim simply because apologists literally _hate_ what Apple actually is (which is why apologists always flatly deny what Apple actually does).

    "*support for all non-Apple GPUs would be dropped*"

    Apple [really ARM/TSMC] Silicon M1 Macs do not support eGPUs <https://appleinsider.com/articles/20/11/10/apple-silicon-m1-macs-do-not-support-egpus>

    "Apple Insider has confirmed that the new Apple Silicon [actually TSMC
    silicon with ARM technology] Macs based on the M1 processor will not
    support any external graphics processing units."

    "Furthermore, Apple has removed its preferred solution, the Blackmagic
    eGPU, from the list of compatible accessories for the Mac mini, the
    MacBook Air, & MacBook Pro with Apple [really TSMC/ARM] Silicon chips."

    Apple [really ARM/TSMC]

    No. Not "really ARM/TSMC".
