Some of us were asking for this machine.
As a developer who builds large, complex projects (it's not uncommon for a build to take 40 minutes on a 16-core Xeon workstation), the Mac Pro is exactly the type of workstation I'd be interested in.
(The display is another story. That's definitely targeting the media production vertical.)
- Alupis 7y agoWouldn't someone like you be better served on a 32 or 64 core Threadripper workstation then? I assume there's I/O bottlenecking in there somewhere, but for the rest, surely you're not 100% pegging all 16 cores all the time, but more parallelism would still benefit you to a certain extent... While not costing $6k+ for a base 8 core machine.

- vbezhenar 7y agoIf you're building Apple projects, it might be hard or impossible to offload that to other operating system.
- nathana 7y agoIf you're targeting Apple platforms with your builds, just how does a Threadripper workstation address the problem? (And don't say Hackintosh...)
