  3. Since they're all about that ARM life it's unfortunate apple don't take a lesson from the Raspberry pi foundation. This isn't trolling, just thinking the space would benefit from some other their principals.

  4. all this is bull shit!! nothing has been done ! for so many years pro user have no choice
    by the end of 2020 I don't think there is even a new Mac for pro user

  5. I like a half sized cheese grater for the next Mac Pro. I've had both the older 2012 and newer 2013 trashcan each had its benefits and faults. I presently have a 2013 trashcan and I need more power for my photo work. But I don't want a massive tower either! Serviceable RAM & Storage is by far the more important as over time we always seem to need more. 

    Beyond that, bandwidth & CPU threads that both the OS and apps support is important! AMD's Threadripper2 I think is the better chip now. Intel is stuck with an old philosophy of single die whereas AMD is into chiplets maximizing the Node thats needed for that part of the processor unit. 

    Nvidia's GPU architecture is now top of the game with Raytracing. Apple and Nvidia need to kiss and make up. Put the past in the past and lets more on!

    Apple needs to get into these CPU's & GPU's with the Mac Pro.

  9. As a 3d/Motion Graphics Artist, modern GPU power has transformed my industry. From 3d Rendering, VR and real-time game engine deployment, to massive 8k real-time interactive art installations …..EVERYTHING is running on the GPU and ALL OF THOSE GPUs are NVIDIA. for example, when Apple first announced the NEW MacPro in 2017, I was running a Macpro 2013 with 10 PC system renderfarm at home for CPU rendering. In the last 2 years, I shut everything down and built a new pipeline around 3 PCs running 12 Nvidia GPUS. Video and Motion Graphics are the new "Desktop Publishing" and Apple has not been leading the charge as they did in the '80s and '90s. Fellow freelancers and Studios I have worked in still have the hangover that the 2013 MacPro caused. "Its a great machine, but it was an expensive dead-end." Yes, the expectations for the new MacPro are High, But Apple is SOOOOOO far behind,. I can't see Apple making the necessary investment in a market that's not going to be as profitable for them as other products they make.

  10. I do miss the “Cheese Grater” Mac Pro but it sounds like the RED camera approach maybe the path since we can’t always predict how the next new upgrade component will look like. Plus thank you; hope to see a video on Mac vs Nvidia (maybe something I missed beyond the driver ownership).

  11. Shit I would just like the Apple Mac product line to make sense again – MacBook should be a basic, cheap computer, MacBook Air? Umm this should just be merged into the MacBook line. MacBook Pro – Genuinely pro-level equipment with (atleast in my opinion) a minimum AMD APU so that all Pros have decent graphics. Mac mini should actually be more affordable than what it is and if necessary, create a Pro Mac mini to take the upper priced models. iMac and iMac Pro are pretty much how they should be I guess and then we'll soon have the big daddy Mac Pro at the actual top of the line!!! Whilst I think of it, not sure if it's possible with how iPhones are marketed, but they should probably start using cleaner names like iPhone and iPhone Pro rather than "s" that is either lowercase or uppercase and no one knows why they choose the case form they choose. "iPhone XS Max" yuckkkk! Sounds like a jumbo coffee order!

  13. there wont be any:) or if any unit comes that will be a full soldered segmented lego, exclusively repairable and upgreadeable by Apple, no user friendly approach for sure… and yes in 2017 they had no financial struggles like now so any discussion from that point of time is obsolete

  21. Guess: The Mac Mini IS the Mac Pro base station. Want two CPU:s? Connect two of them. Want more GPU power or anything else? All they need is to make more specialized Mac Mini shaped boxes and make sure it's got TB3 or better, and the rest is solved in software.

  25. An Uber I pad flagship. That runs both platforms with no 5 grand entrance fee. Touch no mouse please . Desktops in the space station? Laptops ? Or monster touch based tablets? I am an iOS junkie that Knows apple understands what we are asking for (including iOS being stable across all update platforms including all third party apps. ) Peace Christo???❤️

  27. I think Marco's point about just avoiding the limitations – heat, speed, throttling, etc. and optimizing for absolute performance is key. Obviously we're all excited and curious to see how Apple defines "modular" – my wallet is ready!

  28. I would like a modular, upgradeable Mac Pro, where one can upgrade the CPU, Ram, GPU, SSD (and whatever else that you can think of, like USB/Thunderbolt ports, HDMI, For those who use SD Cards a slot for that and a port for your audio in and audio out. A case and monitor that looks like the I-Mac but thinner, and comes in Piano Black, Silver or Gray, maybe even other choices like Rose Gold.

  29. I wonder if it’s gonna be watercooled. It‘d make it certainly harder (well, at least more challenging to design – maybe Apple comes up with a super clever easy plug and play pipe system) to swap out components but also make it super silent and keep those high end parts super cool.

  30. I'm burned out with tech rumors and speculations. Just let me know when shit is actually released. Thumbs up if you agree.
