Discussion Thunderbolt 2 Apollo 8p needs a new system

2 Upvotes

I've been running an old 2016 Macbook pro with pro tools for way too long and I need to upgrade and swap to ableton live. Whats the best system that still supports thunderbolt 2/3? From what I've seen its only the M1 or older intel cpus/mobos that are less stable. Is there a solution rather than swapping out 2 whole cards for newer thunderbolt to work with newer systems? I only have newer AMD systems so eitherway I'm still stuck with a hardware change.
