    MacBook Pro 14 M1 Pro/Max/Ultra no HDMI 2.1 but...

    I like to ask and discuss where on the MacBook Pro M1 series are limited to HDMI 2.0. I am quite puzzled by the fact that this is not an M1 CPU/GPU bandwidth limitation? My MacBook Pro M1 Pro is capable of running 4K at 120Hz/144Hz(DSC) with the following setup: - USB-C to USB-C Monitor Alt-DP...

    When is apple releasing a thunderbolt 3 port apapter?!

    It’s ridiculous, I’m a producer/video editor and need more ports on my MBP M1 Pro max. Unless I spend $1600 on a display then only I can get 4 more ports. We need a 4 port adapter for MacBooks And not lame after market OWC brands

    Guys, Please don't compare CR23 or Geekbench GPU compute scores for Apple silicon against an x86 processor or Nvidia/AMD GPU respectively.

    tl;dr - They are not fair comparisons. I'm not going to be very deep but just enough to make you guys understand things. 1. Cinebench R23 CR23's render engine uses Intel Embree which is Intel's library to accelerate Ray tracing compute using CPU. It supports various SIMD instruction sets for...
