The irony is that it’s arguably the opposite, since the GPU and CPU just have a shared memory pool, rather than having dedicated memory and the shared memory pool.

So if you’re watching a 4k video, you might have lost a gigabyte or two just for VRAM.

It’s because they think that people only do one thing at a time.

New feature turns off the screen to flush graphics memory so the cpu can process data.

They certainly don’t want to connect more than one external screen, just ask Tim Apple
