The minimum price for a Vega-equipped MacBook Pro now rises to $3,079 (INR 2,22,000 approx.).
Essentially, buyers will be upgrading from the Radeon Pro 500-Series to the Radeon Vega GPU. However, the AMD Radeon Vega 16 and 20 GPU options are available only on the laptop’s highest-end configuration.īuyers looking to embed the AMD Radeon Vega 16 will have to pay $250 (INR 18,000 approx.) over the retail price, while the Vega 20 model asks for $350 (INR 25,000 approx.) extra. 15-inch Apple MacBook Pro With AMD Radeon Vega 16 and 20 Options Price, AvailabilityĪpple’s online store has the new 15-inch MacBook Pro with the improved Touch Bar and the larger Touch Pad. Moreover, these GPUs can cut down the resources required for repetitive tasks. The feature is able to process graphics-intensive workloads in real-time. Additionally, these new GPUs have an interesting feature called Rapid Packed Math. In terms of numbers, the Vega 16 packs 16 and the Vega 20 packs 20 compute units. In other words, using these GPUs, Apple can further refine or even condense the logic board, making it physically smaller.ĪMD claims the Vega 16 and Vega 20 come with, “Vega next-generation compute units”. The new technology GPUs has the HBM2 fitting directly on the GPU package, thereby offering some much-needed space advantage. Interestingly, the HBM2 memory is also energy efficient. It comes with much more memory bandwidth per chip. It offers a substantial boost over the GDDR5 memory. The HBM2 stands for second-generation High Bandwidth Memory. But they have significantly higher bandwidth because they get the new HBM2 memory. Incidentally, even these GPUs come with 4GB memory. However, under the new options, buyers can opt for a Vega 16 or Vega 20. Both these GPUs featured 4GB of GDDR5 memory, which were quite fast and efficient to begin with.

Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch Variants Get AMD Radeon Vega GPUsīuyers interested in the powerful yet portable computing devices had the option to embed a Radeon Pro 555X or Radeon Pro 560X GPU.

Incidentally, the comparison is made with the Radeon Pro 500 Series that was the option earlier extended to buyers. Needless to mention, these options do come at a premium. Apple assures the new GPUs can offer as much as a 60 percent boost in processing power that would benefit graphic-intensive tasks such as GPU-accelerated video editing, 3D modeling, etc. These high-end discrete graphics alternatives are in addition to the integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630. The higher-end models of the 15-inch laptop can be packed with the powerful AMD Radeon Vega GPUs.Ĭustomers buying the powerful new Apple MacBook Pro laptops now have the option to have a Vega 16 or Vega 20 Graphics Processing Unit (GPU).

Unless you need the discrete GPU for work in macOS, I might say to just get a 13" and build a gaming PC for the same money, except the gaming PC market is also hell right now due to stock shortages and scalpers, so.Apple has silently updated the options on the new Apple MacBook Pro.
I gave up on gaming on mine and just use a PC because after ten minutes or so of playing my framerates drop hard. For all the work Apple put into a beefier cooling system for the 16", it's all wasted in Boot Camp because for some reason there are significant thermal problems in Boot Camp (but not macOS) that result in throttling during heavy loads even harsher than I've seen on the 15". So you get better a better GPU, bigger display, better keyboard, better thermals, and more battery life, at the cost of less RAM, less SSD, and fewer CPU cores.īut, Boot Camp on the 16" sucks.
The 5300M will only be a little bit faster than the Vega 20 in compute benchmarks but it's actually a larger gap in a lot of real world use cases (which we saw a lot with Vega vs RDNA). The 15" has better specs (more RAM, more cores, more SSD) on paper but unfortunately those machines are deeply flawed, from the horrendous thermals that can result in throttling under load to the polarizing and unreliable butterfly keyboard. This is a complicated question, especially since you want to use it for Boot Camp gaming.įor macOS use I would tell you to go for the 16" easy.
