MacBook Pro suffers from artifacts on its AMD GPU
New MacBook Pro computers with AMD Polaris graphics cores are suffering from artifact problems precisely caused by AMD GPUs. The problem would have been discovered after an increasing number of users have been complaining about problems on their computers. These GPUs are based on the Polaris 11 graphics architecture, although they are professional series models that have been hand-selected to offer the best energy efficiency with the highest quality chips.
We recommend reading our guide to the best laptops on the market.
The AMD Radeon Pro 450, Pro 455 and Pro 460 used in the MacBook Pro have a maximum power 10% lower than the Radeon RX 460 although its power consumption is almost half, only 35W compared to the 75W that consumes the Radeon RX 460 so they represent a great leap forward in energy efficiency.
Recall that the MacBook Pro with an i7-6700HQ and a Radeon Pro 455 is priced at approximately 2, 700 euros, so they are not exactly cheap equipment, problems of this type do not help the image of AMD and Apple. It remains to be seen whether it is a problem related to the software of the equipment or something more serious related to the hardware.
