If you want freedom to choose your own fire-breathing GPU, consider the Sonnet eGFX Breakaway Box or the AKiTiO Node Pro eGFX Box or the Mercury Helios FX. Apple announced a new MacBook Air during a hardware event in New York.
On the positive side, it does support the LG UltraFine 5K with one of the Thunderbolt 3 ports. Be aware that it comes with an AMD Radeon Pro 580 pre-installed. NOTE: The new Blackmagic eGPU is getting a lot of attention. And even then, many apps ignore the eGPU unless the primary display is connected directly to the GPU inside. Consider budgeting for an eGPU box with a high-end GPU (like the AMD Radeon Vega series) if your GPU intensive applications flounder. The 2018 MacBook Pro's 560X GPU, however, is not impressive. If that is a concern, you can use the Intel Power Gadget app to monitor the CPU clock frequency during your typical workflow. Extended activity with CPU intensive pro apps have been reported to cause Thermal Throttling, nullifying Turbo Boost and even dropping below the standard clock rating. The 2018 MacBook Pro 15 inch is a CPU crunch contender - at least when running brief benchmarks like Geekbench. The 2018 MacBook Pro GPUs are highlighted in RED. The higher the score, the faster the Mac. The OpenCL Score combines the results of 8 tests. GEEKBENCH Multi-Core Floating Point Score

(Each score is the highest reported on the Geekbench Browser.) The overall score combines 25 tests including Integer, Floating Point, and Memory. We've compiled a graph showing the various Macs running the Multi-Core Geekbench CPU test. How does the 2018 MacBook Pro 15 inch compare to other Macs? Will the 6-core CPU give it enough punch to compete? And what about the GPU? July 20th, added 2.6GHz i7 6-Core and noted core frequency

Secondly, assuming that’s possible, would the OS just work ok when I swapped the disk into new hardware? My current MacBook won’t take anything newer than High Sierra, so that’s what’s on the disc at present.īe nice if the disc just went in, booted up with all my apps and software, then allowed an upgrade to Mojave.July 19th, 2018, by rob-ART morgan, mad scientist I have a couple of questions though.įirstly, is the hard drive in the 2018 MacBook Pro replaceable for a normal 2 1/2” Sata SSD drive? I recently upgraded the drive in my 17” MacBook to a 750gb SSD one, so it would be nice if I could buy the slightly cheaper 256gb model MacBook and replace its drive with my 750gb one.
So I’m looking at replacing it with a 15” MacBook Pro. It’s a real shame, as it still functioned exactly as I wanted, and I was hoping to get another couple of years out of it.

After doing a security update the other day, my trusty early 17” MacBook Pro seems to be having graphics issues.
