MacBook Pro getting Radeon Pro Vega graphics options in November

15-inch MacBook Pro

Last updated

Lost in the excitement of the new MacBook Air, Mac Mini, and iPad Pro, Apple added a new graphics configuration for the MacBook Pro starting in November.

Customers will be able to order a MacBook Pro from Apple with Radeon Pro Vega graphics with performance jumping up to 60 percent faster, according to Apple. Users dealing with graphics-heavy workflows such as video editing, 3D design, and rendering projects will see the most improvement with the new configurations.

The new configurations will be custom-order only from Apple's online and retail stores as well as through Apple Authorized Resellers starting Wednesday, November 14th. Pricing is not yet available.

Have you guys found an accidental leak here? It says:
"Configurable to Radeon Pro Vega 16 with 4GB of HBM2 memory or Radeon Pro Vega 20 with 4GB of HBM2 memory"
but I thought those chips weren't announced yet.

Glad I held off on buying! Was about to order an i9 15” with the 460X. Hope this doesn’t push the top end higher price wise.

The BlackMagic eGPU is going to be available in a Vega version too. Both good for Mac gaming.

Will it mean there will be a redesigned thermal system?
