I thought I would post this here because this could be a very exciting development for the Classic Mac Pro.

These dGPU's could bring QuickSync to the Classic Mac, enabling AirPlay, Netflix, hardware dedicated h265 decoding, and more.

We'll see in two years.

Wanted to bump this as we are getting closer to release and Intel is having people sign up to get updates about their dGPU announcements.

If we were going to try to lobby Intel to support UGA for bootscreens like RTX now would be a good time to start a campaign.

I don't expect these graphics cards to be more powerful than Vega cards initially, but we could end up with a better driver situation than even the AMD cards, due to the fact that every other mac has Intel graphics.
