  • 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 MacPro predictions? Hopes? Fears?

I hope they give Jarred a portion of the presentation so we can see if they can bleep curse words in real time.
 
Way overpriced. 8-core and 32GB RAM with a Radeon 580 can be had for well under $2000. They're totally missing the mark and pricing themselves out of a lot of business. The only thing that interests me is that accelerator. Hopefully there will be a way to run it on a Hackintosh.

$1,000 for a monitor stand is just greedy and dumb.

You won't need it. The developers will come to Metal.

A few pre-announced and the rest worth their name should start working on something compatible today.

They can reassign their team who were working on OpenCL ports!

It would have been easier to understand them just charging $6K for the monitor and included everything rather than separate them and have a $999 stand.
 
So pleased that it doesn't suck.


It's gonna cost an arm and a leg, but by god, 8 PCI slots and some super-fast GPUs, and an optional accelerator card... this is a screamer. It's ugly, but at least you can roll it out of the room and hide it somewhere.

Now, we'll have to differentiate between old cheesegrater Mac (2006-2013) and the new cheesegrater Mac (2019).

Let me mull this over... new car or new computer... new car or new computer... decisions, decisions...

Marc I post this as I have a bit of respect for your opinion (even though you're an industry 1%er :laugh:).
The system was definitely made for people in your space of the industry.

Actually, most workstations are going with arms.
I have a graveyard of Apple Cinema 30s and 27s stand in the warehouse.
Creepy I tell ya :)
 
Glad they’re not including a stand I almost certainly will never use. While $999 seems stupid for a stand, this is typical Apple in that the thing is machined out of a large hunk of aluminum and nicely finished with that fancy new mechanism for adjusting height/rotation. It probably costs them $300 or more to manufacture each one of those stands. Lots of unnecessary aspects to it, but it’s Apple.

If Apple made a monitor arm for it, it would probably be an engineering marvel and cost $3500 when the $99 AmazonBasics arm would be 75% as good and serve the needs of 99% of people using the display.
