Dissecting the Apple M1 GPU, the End

> Bring full, conformant Vulkan to Apple platforms, disproving the myth that Vulkan isn’t suitable for Apple hardware.

Did people actually claim that? I don’t remember it but I don’t follow Vulkan and would stop reading subthreads when they turned towards “Apple should just use Vulkan”.

If Vulkan was designed to be vendor neutral (it was) it seems very unlikely it would be unimplementable by Apple if they wanted.
