Except this unit only has a single processor. 100k is for a quad Xeon server with redundant power supplies and on-site, same-day support. If you look in another comment of mine, the Pro costs over $16k too much when maxed out, it should be mid-$30k's if they were honest.
- AstralStorm 7y agoEven better, if you don't take the scalper version of Xeon and go AMD... A faster Threadripper 3 goes for $2k not $15k. Workstation versions of Navi are likely to arrive soon, making these Pro versions of Radeon VII look somewh t silly. (W5700XT to be exact.) You can have a similar rack machine for $10k, (blade itself $6k) easier to expand too. The only reason to get this is if you're locked into OS X for process and really benefit from so many cores and GPUs. Which you likely won't. This is not useful for compute nor a server, and for actual video encoding you want the accelerator card (offered) not the GPUs nor probably beefy CPU, while 3D rendering is better done on non-Mac anyway. The big seller of Macs is still Photoshop and that does not make great use of this CPU, nor that much RAM.
