my mac pro will live a lonely, strange life. jammed in a tiny dark corner, far away from the world, sequestered on an empty subnet, its only interaction with the world being the cables that come out of it and being remoted into by a like 2014 macbook air and my $120 chromebook.

occasionally it will reach out to the outside and speak to its only friend, a unifi managed gigibit switch, looking for companionship, and its cries will be answered with deafening silence.

it's even funnier coming on the heels of Ryzen 3 stuff, where you can buy their flagship processor that supports ECC out of the box and kicks the poo poo out of almost the entire Xeon line for a tiny fraction of the price BEFORE you even break into the actual server chips

if you care what processor you have, you aren’t the target market for the mac pro, or indeed any apple product

(ok I guess caring greatly about the quality of the cpu in your phone would be a valid reason to avoid most androids, but how many iphone users know any more than “number after a go up mean good”)

there’s no way they have amd chips in the Mac Pro but if they were going to, they would have been working with early silicon samples for the last year. it’s not like they wait until AMD (or Intel) releases a chip before they work on integrating it.

they have thermal issues and :pcgaming: types are upset that they don’t overclock well, but in actual use they seem to comfortably compete with anything intel is selling in the same price range while consuming less power, which is as good a definition of “good” as any

I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before they turn out to catch fire after 6 months or something tho because it’s 2019 and nice things aren’t allowed to exist any more

oh ho ho PCIe 3.1? when the rest of the world is cutting their teeth with 4.0?

granted we aren't getting 8k monitors for a while but talk about outdated before it gets released (see: video options that never changed with the old trash can)

gee almost every AMD motherboard I saw at micro center above $300 had PCIe 4.0, even if it was only 2 slots

how is that so hard crapple?

maybe they should just buy MSI GODLIKE mbs and shove them into the cheesegrater

lol 'GODlike'

might be pretty hard for Apple to support pcie4 if their chip vendor literally does not make chips that can do it. also every other workstation vendor using intel chips

I once owned a Mac Pro op. I bought it on eBay for £400 or something and it was dented to gently caress and I emailed the seller and he sent me £200 immediately. good deal imo. I hosed about with custom firmwares or kexts or some poo poo to get a radeon working in it

my phone suggests this icon when I type Mac: 💻 or this 🖥. conspiracy???
