As someone who planned to buy the new MacPro since the first rumors and only skipped it when I learned how much the prices had risen compared to its predecessor - and the entry level 8core Xeon wasn't that impressive either - I am so ready to finally upgrade my aged iMac. The 4+4 core M1 already gets glowing reviews, it will be very impressive with 16+4 or even 32+8 cores. I like those rumors very much!
- TheOtherHobbes 5y agoI bought a 10-core iMac Pro, and it's a screamer - super-fast and super-reliable even after 16+ hours of use a day. So I don't regret that choice, even if it was the most expensive computer I've ever bought. A 32+8 core M1 for a less insane price sounds like an easy upgrade choice. The lingering question is memory. 16GB won't be enough.
- commenter12345 5y agoThe article says 64GB even for the Macbook Pro.
- darkarmani 5y ago> super-fast and super-reliable even after 16+ hours of use a day. What does the time have to do with it? It's not like a car with moving parts.
- upbeat_general 5y agoProbably just a combination of the OS properly managing memory and the hardware being “powerful” enough.
