eGPU support on m1

Will there ever be eGPU support for m1? I recently switched from a gaming laptop to m1 MacBook Pro and the switch from windows to macOS has been great but the lack of a powerful gpu is a problem because I do some 3d modelling and some times game and there is a huge performance gap in both 3d modelling and gaming. It would be great if m1 had eGPU support.

Thanks

No one here can speculate...


You can see what is released as the roll out continues, new hardware typically announced:

Sept-Oct-Nov.


You can wait and see with the rest of us what changes may come along when the next macOS "Monterey" is released to the public.
