The M1 already features up to 16GB of on-package memory, but any HBM-equipped SoC intended to replace a workstation graphics card would have either a GDDR6-style bus connecting it to dedicated onboard VRAM (like a modern console) or a 16-32GB on-package HBM2 buffer. The Radeon Pro Vega II in the top-end Mac Pro features 32GB of HBM2, a 331mm sq die, and a 475W TDP. Apple’s M1 is an impressive SoC, but slapping a 4096-core GPU alongside it would be a bit much.Īpple could swap AMD hardware for Nvidia if it chose, but it can’t easily integrate a top-end GPU into a CPU socket.
