Earlier this month, AMD's Radeon Pro 5600M debuted in Apple MacBook Pro, which is part of AMD's Navi 12 silicon and it adheres to a 50W total graphics power rating. The Radeon Pro 5600M has 8GB HBM2 video memory and Apple says new 5600M is up to 75-percent faster.
On June 29, AMD published new Boot Camp drivers for the MacBook Pro with Radeon 5600M. These new drivers released by AMD can be used in Boot Camp when booting into Windows 10 on the new MacBook Pro.
AMD states that the drivers carry revision number 19.50 and it could improve the performance of Windows 10 inside MacBook when you use Boot Camp.
Boot Camp, which was released in 2009, lets Mac owners install and start their machines natively in Windows. Boot Camp doesn't replace macOS and you can switch between Mac and Windows when you start your MacBook Pro.
While Boot Camp enables quick support for Windows, it still requires you to have compatible graphics driver to enhance the performance of Microsoft's desktop OS. With the new AMD drivers, you'll be able to make the most out of your new MacBook and Windows 10.
You can download the drivers from AMD's website.
In related news, Apple confirmed that its Macs will be transitioning from Intel-based processors to its custom ARM-based Silicon. In addition, Apple also confirmed that Boot Camp is going away when the first Apple ARM-based Mac launches.

Godforbid Apple would ever made an effort to have Windows run on arm. Conspiracy theorists speculate Apple made this move so Mac users would stop running Windows filth on Macs.
Sarcasms aside, i kinda applaud this very ballsy move, and maybe a step in the right direction for x86\arm hybrids.
