BlackMagic eGPU Pro availability pushed back to December on Apple’s online storefront

A rather cool item that debuted alongside the new Mac mini and MacBook Air back in October has been delayed a bit.

Apple, which recently added the Blackmagic eGPU Pro as an online store item, stated the unit would be released in late November. Unfortunately, the current listing now says that the device won’t be coming until December.

Priced at $1,199, the Blackmagic eGPU Pro features a Radeon RX Vega 56 graphics processor with 8GB MBM2 memory, two Thunderbolt 3 ports, four USB 3 ports, an HDMI 2.0 port, and a DisplayPort 1.4 port. It offers 85W of power delivery.


Like the prior non-Pro Blackmagic eGPU, the new version features an all-in-one aluminum enclosure. Apple’s Thunderbolt 3-enabled Macs, including the Mac mini, the MacBook Air, and the MacBook Pro, work with the Blackmagic eGPU Pro.

So, a definitely neat chunk of external GPU goodness is on its way to the Mac, but will arrive about a month later than expected.

Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
