Yesterday we reported that the updated laptops this year, and all in one PC Apple can get discrete graphics cards on new GPUs AMD's architecture with Polaris. Today, the same resource expanded content on the possible characteristics of the future Apple products. For example, it is reported that the Apple device will get two new solutions - in adapters MXM form factor Polaris 10 (Ellesmere) and Polaris 11 (Baffin).
Mobile version Polaris 11 (Baffin) for Apple laptops will contain up to 10 execution units with 64 stream processors each - only up to 640 stream processors. With GDDR5 video memory 8 Gb / s solutions on board a maximum consumption does not exceed 40-50 watts. This performance of the solution will reach 1-1.25 teraflops. The transition from 28 nm generation of graphics on the graphics generation 14 nm allow preserving TDP at the same level significantly improve the performance of Apple devices. Especially since last update hardware devices was three years ago.
Adapters GPU Polaris 10 (Ellesmere) focused on more substantive TDP - up to 150 watts. Apple devices on adapter Polaris 10 8 GB of GDDR5 memory will replace the video card AMD Radeon R9 M395X with a storage capacity of 4GB GDDR5. Now Apple may prepare a new brand 27-inch display with 5K resolution (5120 x 2880 pixels).
