Take a look at any Mac product by Apple right now and you’ll realize that the higher-end models all use AMD’s GPUs. This has been the case for the past few years, although in the past Apple has switched back and forth between AMD and NVIDIA, but like we said, the past few years has seen Apple stick with AMD’s products.
However thanks to a job listing spotted by Bloomberg, it seems that NVIDIA and Apple could be working together on something. The listing says that applicants will “help produce the next revolutionary Apple products.” They would also be “working in partnership with Apple”, and will also be writing code that will “define and shape the future” of graphics-related software on Apple’s Mac computers.
Given that NVIDIA is primarily a maker of GPUs, there’s a very good chance that we could be looking at new Mac computers that will feature NVIDIA’s GPUs. However if you were hoping it would be soon, you might be disappointed because according to the rumors, Apple is expected to stick to AMD’s GPUs for its next round of refreshes.
Not to mention the job listing is pretty recent, so if anything it will most likely be at least 2017 before we see anything. In any case we really have no choice but to wait and see how this plays out, but in the meantime are you fussed between having either an AMD or NVIDIA GPU in your Mac?
