One of the most enticing features that Thunderbolt 5 brings to the table is the capability to use an external GPU (eGPU), thanks to the impressive 120Gbps bidirectional bandwidth it offers. While an eGPU cannot completely replace an internal GPU, it can serve as a valuable complement.
The future of eGPU support on Apple’s end remains uncertain, but the arrival of Thunderbolt 5 provides further evidence for proponents of this theory. Nvidia and AMD consistently release new generations of GPUs, empowering Mac users to achieve greater levels of graphics performance.
