I have the rMBP with 16GB RAM and a giant SSD. Add the 27" Thunderbolt monitor and I think I have the new Mac Pro.
The power consumption is great and the performance is top-notch too.
- krautsourced 14y agoBut try rendering a large 3D or video sequence over night, and watch it melt through your desk.
- krautsourced 14y agoOh, and 16GB is nothing when working with e.g. After Effects.
- smoyer 14y agoIt doesn't get that hot, even while running full-bore. I don't render video or graphics, but I do simulations and run a lot of VMs for various test modes. I suspect that fully loaded CPUs are going to hit a maximum temperature regardless of the application that is running. And yes ... I can't expand the RAM beyond that 16GB (it's actually the limiting factor for my VM count).
- stevejb 14y ago16GB of RAM is not a lot in workstation applications. I have simulations that use matrices which take 30GB of RAM. This is for one large matrix, where 24 threads are accessing different parts of it simultaneously. Your MBP is physically not capable of doing this.
