and that's with the optional wheel addon, of course. Still no screen though, that costs extra.

pram posted:intel does not have pcie 4.0 maybe apple should partner with IBM and release a personal computer based on the POWER architecture?  you could buy those with pcie 4 a full year before amd released pcie 4 chips. (btw, you can get nearly 2x the cores and 4x the threads on a fully-loaded talos 2 POWER workation compared to the top-end Mac Pro. oh, and it supports nvidia GPUs and CUDA as well, unlike the Mac Pro)

lol that apple released a mac pro with an old chip, an old chipset, and crap GPUs in a proprietary format, to replace the fabulously successful trashcan mac, which had an old chip, and old chipset, and crap GPUs in a proprietary format they learn nothing

Radeon is the only game in town, because apple likes it that way

Now that the case design is reasonable again I'm sure they'll update the motherboard every couple of years like they did with the old cheesegraters. Not that it matters for any of us.

all these matters remaining largely academic unless apple actually commits to the effort. e.g. offering (and/or supporting the offering of) relevant pro applications, and having a timetable for hardware and software updates. as far as hardware goes i think the imac pro was plenty to renew such efforts in all kinds of areas. however, they have rather demonstrated that they don't care that much, and are very happy to leave enterprise customers hanging with outdated hardware, or by killing off (or fatally changing) software. no higher-end/fancier hardware boondoggle is really going to fix that.

And when you buy a mac pro, you get a ~PrOfeSsIoNaL~ computer that you can use to signal that you are a ~CrEaTiVe Professional~, features you can enjoy: - wrecking your IT budget - an OS that gets worse with every release - backwards compatibility? Lol not if you're using xcode or any developer tools - software that you can also get on the PC, except for maybe xcode - paying $400 for wheels to put on your computer - depending on macports or homebew for literally anything productive as a swdev - "think different" Poopernickel fucked around with this message at 17:02 on Feb 3, 2020 |

switching to AMD is a lot of work, and they would have had to start it before it was obvious that intel was going to gently caress up their entire product line. at this point this is just more motivation to abandon intel for arm.
