The 6k config comes with dual Xeons? That might not be a bad deal. I thought that was the base configuration, with dual processors available as an upgrade.
It says "up to 28 cores".
- scarface74 7y agoThe base just says “8 core”. How many cores are per per processor? But the point remains - with the specs that he quoted, unless he thinks that upgrading to 96GB of RAM and matching the core count is going to be more than $4000. What point is he trying to prove?
- michaelmrose 7y agoLogically the 8 core option is a single cpu with 8 cores as 2x4 would cost more. I think the point being made is that apple is and was overpriced. What you could have bought for 10k from apple when user actually purchased his computer would have been a joke by comparison. New data doesn't lead user to change that assessment given that the $5k base model looks equivalent to a $1k->$2k pc. You are comparing a pc you can't even buy yet to one that was purchased previously months prior in order to come to the conclusion that there doesn't exist a pricing disparity.
- analognoise 7y agoThey're charging $999 for a stand. I think that assumption is safe.
