Apple is actively working on its own video cards, but they will not be released until a few years later

Apple during WWDC 2020 said on the gradual transfer over the next 2 years of all Mac computers from Intel x86 chips to their own processors with ARM architecture. Also there were hints of rejection from AMD graphics accelerators to proprietary solutions for Mac computers.

That said, it doesn't look like Apple's high-end graphics accelerators are coming soon. The MacBook Pro 16 laptops and iMac all-in-ones coming out in 2021 and using Intel processors will feature AMD Radeon discrete graphics, according to a Komiya source. But computer models based on new Apple chips will rely on quite powerful integrated graphics accelerators.

This publication, another Jioriku informant, added the statement that Apple is indeed actively investing in improving its graphics accelerators, but most likely we will not see anything particularly outstanding (for example, Apple graphics cards for desktop computers) for a few more years.

After that, Komiya added that around the end of 2021 or mid-2022, Apple will completely abandon Intel processors and AMD graphics cards in its Macs. Most likely, its integrated graphics will not be more powerful than NVIDIA or AMD's offerings by then, but Apple will still refuse third-party services. Also, no earlier than 2022, according to the informant, the first discrete Apple graphics cards may appear.

The modern Apple A12Z Bionic single-chip system in OpenCL tests bypasses the integrated graphics in AMD Ryzen 5 4500U and Intel Core i7-1065G7 chips. Coming this year, the 5nm A14X Bionic chip for future iPad Pro tablets promises to be much more powerful - by some estimates, it will be on par with the 8-core Intel Core i9-9880H. Rumor has it that the first 12-inch ARM-based MacBook expected this year will will get a 12-core processor - It will be interesting to see what kind of performance such a system can offer.
