The only thing that comes with AYYMD Poolaris is the 15"

13" notebooks don't have any room for GPUs and they come standard with Intel GPUs on Intel CPUs

Well, if it means more money for AMD then I guess it's good.

Sadly they probably sell them at terrible margins.

This isn't fair, AMD keeps stealing Nvida's customers even when Nvidia has better architectures and drivers and inovations like CUDA and g-sync..

Amd hardware is scale able and easy to work with, plus amd cards perform better at higher res. What did you expect? Nvidia would just try to lock them into their goyware. Amd cards are just better at pushing pixels and raw computing power.

The author of the article is dumb. All Macs except the Mac Pro come with Intel's integrated graphics which as you said, already has AMD graphics.

Literally no one does that, companies buy enterprise workstations which is just a high end prebuilt.

Your mistake is that you're assuming Apple cared about anything besides cost when choosing a vendor for this refresh.

They switch vendors to kick out better prices out of them. They were probably able to screw over AMD more this time around because it is in the red while Nvidia is eating up the gaming GPU market on brand mindshare.

I wouldn't be suprised if the fucks tried to ask for more discounts "because being in our PCs is an honor and good advertising".

The Apple thing has been known for a fuckin year mate.

Honestly do none of you pay attention to Charlie?

Once Raven Ridge starts getting shipped to OEMs expect a bunch of them to end up in Apple stuff. Apple can use it's meme status with retards to negotiate better margins for their products for themselves. Intel basically dictates to OEMs how much they are going to pay for stuff now, with Zen that should start to change.

>>
>>55031691
I not so sure there would be a mix up. Intel gains so much free marketing from apple laptop it's insane. When mac first came to x86, every thing was "only possible with new intel processors". Don't underestimate how fickle normies are. I'm working in a creative agency and the amount of bullshit people here believe is insane, even after everything except windows machines and a file server being imacs, minis and macbookpros. At least they're using the actual i7s for video editing and graphics, instead of facebook. Also setting up a small rander farm in the office as well, horrible that it has to be cuda based as well. All our clients recommended specs are all titanXsli. Even one who has amd affiliation talks shit about amd, at least their program uses opencl.

>>
>>55031691
Apple won't ever use AMD, even if there was Athlon 64 times again. They live from an image of exclusivity and AMD has an image of cheap/affordable/etc.

They can't put it in their shit even if they wanted, because they have to pretend everything Apple is ultra premium and that their punters are getting something that is not disposable good but an investment item.

It's probably mostly due to AMD's growing semi-custom business

>>55033005
DirectX "generations" are universally used to describe GPU technology generations though, because shader model version isn't everything and nobody even keeps track of what OpenGL version means what since OpenGL has just been a late me too follower the past 10-15 years.
>>
Allegedly the only reason Apple switched to Nvidia in the first place was because Steve was pissed at AMD for not delivering their first get APUs llano on time and running too poorly to put into their first generation Macbook Air.

Yes, at one point there was the very real possibility of AMD processors being in Apple computers. But AMD screwed the pooch.

It seems Cook has repaired that relationship in the last few years however. Hell theres a strong possibility the next generation Mac Pro might just feature Zen.
>>
>>55033271
>Yes, at one point there was the very real possibility of AMD processors being in Apple computers. But AMD screwed the pooch.

I am fairly sure that that story is just an urban legend and none of it ever happened for real. See here for reason: >>55032382

Apple can surely use subpar CPUs, but they have to be called Intel, or Apple ASomething. Anything that they can fabricate an aura of premiumness around. That was not possible for Llano.
>>
>>55033271
Apple is not about being pissed or about "repairing realtionships". It is simple: AMD is more vulnerable to thier vulture pricing demands. All Apple cares about is maximising its margin.
>>
>>55033022
>mfw AMD and Apple teaming up to take down the silicon Jews

if you are gonna call anybody silicon jew (which is retarded and can mean you are a dick), isn't Apple the single most blatant company for that name?

There is no other entity that leeches so much money* out of customers. Oracle and similar enterprise-predators can't compare.

As in pure profit, not revenue. Revenue includes the cost of the goods the customers get, so it isn't anything to criticize. Profit is pure markup = us being ripped off.
>>
>>55026390
So AMD is confirmed for the lowest of the bottle tier.
Why would any nvidiot be mad about this?
Not even taking into account that it is in fact enthusiast cards like 970/8800 and so on that broke records.
