Amid the iPad Pro, MacBook Air, Mac and Mac mini announcements yesterday, Apple also quietly updated its MacBook Pro lineup with more graphics power. Apple Vega GPUs have been used in Apple's premium laptops.
Apple claims the new GPUs will provide up to 60 percent better graphical performance than the existing offerings. Currently, the best GPU available in MacBook Pro is the Radeon Pro 560X.
Vega 56 and 64 graphics cards are now available in Apple's iMac Pro, a machine designed for creative professionals and power users. Introducing Vega graphics cards (like the Vega 16 and 20 CPUs) in the MacBook Pros and Consumers are more likely to be more complex and creative.
Apple has not announced pricing for the new MacBook Pro models yet, but they will be available to order in November. Apple also announced another GPU-boosting option for new Mac owners-the new Blackmagic eGPU Pro. This external GPU enclosure should dramatically increase overall performance and graphics power for Macs that have a Thunderbolt 3 port.
The Blackmagic eGPU Pro will be equipped with a Radeon RX Vega 56 graphics processor and 8GB of HBM2 memory. It looks unique to the existing Blackmagic eGPU, which comes with a Radeon Pro 580 GPU for $ 699.
Included with the Blackmagic eGPU Pro are two 3-port Thunderbolt, 3-port USB oven, an HDMI 2.0 port, and DisplayPort 1.4 port. The device will also provide 85W of power so users can charge MacBook Pros while connected.
The Blackmagic eGPU Pro will cost $ 1,199 and it will be available in late November.
