New chips, Apple always get's there hands on these first, so should be around 2022 when we see a no-n-trash-can non-painted-into-a-thermal-corner problem Mac Pro for the rest of us without $8K to burn on a workstation with grunt.

Has Apple officially announced this ?

Nope, plus that article has 'gaming' in the title, so apple won't be interested in these particular chips

It's either Cascade Lake or Cooper Lake if the timeline is still 2019. Ice Lake (10nm) comes in 2020.

Gaming and Workstation either way we're screwed ;-)

Maybe in a future non-Pro iMac. Not in a Mac Pro.

The mother of all misleading headlines.

 

[ActionableMango]

This headline is just a straight up lie. There's no mention in the article of Apple, Mac, or a 2020 Mac Pro.

More recent news suggest that the new chips in the Apple Mac Pro will be called "DEATH LAKE" chips when they abandon Intel and Microsoft.

LOL not even true. They always put one generation later. How come Mac mini 2018 got 8th gen instead of 9th gen? iMac? MacBook Pro?

I hope it will be AM4+, TR4+ time with an upgrade path from the old stuff.

At this point, it's impossible. AMD CPU is not able to support Thunderbolt 3

AMD motherboards can support Thunderbolt using an Intel TB controller.

I was talking about what I hope the next AMD platform will be.

Lol No. Tell me which AMD CPU and Motherboard can use TB3? AMD CPU does not have a TB3 controller. Only Intel CPU has them. First of all, TB is owned by Intel and Apple.

Try TB3 PCIe slot on AMD motherboard. You wont be able to use it due to lack of TB3 controller.

What did I write? That it is possible does not mean there's any motherboard.

An AM3+ motherboard with Intel TB was once planned but never happened apparently because of monopolistic licensing blockage.

The chip that the Mac Pro is going to get in 2022 will be Arm 100%.

Possible doesnt mean they can. Intel wont let AMD use TB3 forever. Im talking about OFFICIAL uses and yet you never mentioned anything about the official statement.

"AMD motherboards can support Thunderbolt using an Intel TB controller."

That's what you said and yet NONE of them have TB3 controller.

I think there was an Intel move to open up TB. Maybe a trade with Kaby Lake G.

Are you talking about this? It's already two years and no news so far.

But Intel is preparing 10nm CPU with TB3 support. If they add more protocol and controller in their CPU, there is no way to get TB3 for AMD.

Dream on. The product line should be fully transitioned to ARM by that time. The last 2 times Apple jumped to a new CPU platform, 68k->ppc and ppc->intel, once the transition starts there are no product updates on the old silicon.
