The processor alone here is $7,000+. That's just the processor. Intel, at least, doesn't think that means, "marginally better specs."

- umvi 7y agoSo Apple is selling the base model at a $1000 loss? That doesn't seem right. Plus Intel pricing has nothing to do with performance. Prove to me an 8-core Xeon W blows an 8-core Ryzen 7 out of the water.

- wmf 7y agoIt does blow Ryzen out of the water in PCIe slots and DIMM slots. The Mac Pro is optimized for the high end so you should probably compare against an 8-core Epyc.
- umvi 7y agoThat's more a limitation of the motherboard than the Ryzen, no? You would buy a motherboard with however many PCIe and DIMM slots you need for the desired specs.
- wmf 7y agoYes, instead of designing several different motherboards Apple just has one very expensive, very high-end motherboard. This hurts customers who don't need all those capabilities.
