You're right -- I didn't mean to imply that's why eGPUs aren't supported right now, I meant I suspect it's a policy change, and Apple plans to move to more integrated drivers in the future, so in "Courage!" fashion, they've preemptively ditched it. I can't imagine there's a hard technical reason why they couldn't support eGPUs. I've used both AMD and nvidia Linux drivers on a ppc64le workstation -- I'd be surprised if porting to darwin/arm64 was that much work. Their endianness matches -- though the difference in page sizes might be a problem. On Linux, some drivers just assume 4kb page sizes, and updating them is really difficult[1]. But AMD and Intel GPU drivers are fine with non-4kb at least, so... [1] https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94757 |
