  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

New Mac Pro Announced at WWDC! - It's OFFICIAL!

It's Cylindrical!

Supports (3) 4K Displays!

"Can't innovate anymore, my ass!"
-Phil Schiller, Apple Computer

...Coming later this year...assembled in the USA.

I'm at WWDC. I was the only one standing and hollering. The other Apple developers just don't understand how painful it is to work with 5K video on a 3-year old machine! :)
 
whatever a teraflop is, I want all 7 of them. holy shit

People wake up!

As for Resolve: 6x Thunderbolt2 ports...
Never mind 33x 4K display support OOTB...

Thunderbolt2 will still be a bottleneck for external GPUs - especially as they get faster. Thunderbolt2 is a LOT slower than PCIe3 and worse latency too.

This is just a cunning plan to get people to need to upgrade Mac Pros more often when the GPUs inside go out of date.

From Macrumors:

"New generation Intel Xeon processors, ECC memory, and new PCIe flash storage will debut in the new Mac Pro. External expansion will be available via Thunderbolt 2 and graphics will be handled by dual workstation AMD FirePro GPUs with support for 4K displays."

Do I recall that when Thunderbolt moves from copper to fiber it will be several times faster?

Bruce - Thunderbolt is stackable, you can use all 6 TB2 ports to connect a single enclosure (my bet is on Magma releasing such a enclosure first)...

Can you please point to a resource where we can read up on this "stackable" feature?

Joe - this is simply based on it's architecture and packet bidirectional protocol, which is in principal identical to GBe. You can trunk GBe's for pretty much linear scaling. It is only question of time before someone cashes in on this...

6 thunderbolt and 4 usb 3.0 a gtx titan is like 285gb/s a teraflop of power dat def gpu floating points, even if thundebolt 2 is pcie 30 8x dats just 48x can only accomodate 48x express lanes guess externall enclosures would start to be d norm dis is not perfection rather confusion
