You mean Apple *wants* to get into gaming ? If i knew that i would have bought a console instead.

With all that on GPU, Apple will need a pretty good Mac to despatch heat.

Laptops have always had trouble due to constraints, tight encloses.

Maybe it's only for the iMac's ?

Apple seems to have issues with heat, the MBPs tend to run hot, and the 5k iMac got so hot, that it frequently throttled. Please note that was an issue with the older version of 5k, but now on skylake it doesn't get too hot. Throw in a heat producing GPU and that might change things
