An alternative would be the Wolfe GPU[1]
I really wish we had an Apple "firing on all cylinders" that released commercial products like this.
As a business I'm sure the current product line generates the right numbers in someone's spreadsheet but to me it's just so ...dull.
For the first time since 2006 I haven't updated to the latest macOS and have no plans to. I've seen nothing compelling in it compared to El Capitan.
I wish Apple had better OpenGL or Vulcan (for cross platform games) or eGPU support for internal laptop displays. Instead we have Metal. So far I've not seen an example of a AAA macOS game that actually supports it.
Then again I wish Apple would add an undo feature for the auto"correct" in iOS but obviously they've got their own agenda. :)
