20 K for RAM is still crazy sorry but this is a fact. Sure the thing can eat all that RAM but do I need it?
Once again happy camper here with two old mac pros and Vienna Ensemble Pro 7 All this cost me less than 2k and I can run very big session if needed....

The new Mp seems designed for video but ram savings are savings but not for the faint hearted 4sure!

I can imagine this is almost fast as hell but as far as I understand with Mojave and its internal data compression more RAM does not mean more power anymore? Someone correct me if I am wrong....

We put a man on the moon with the processing power of a 1970s calculator.

This new Mac Pro will render the most detailed crisp image of a Waves L2 (or insert other plugin here) you’ve ever seen!!
As for the audio: you’ll need to upgrade all your converters and gear to the fancy new thunderbolt connectors.
But for the software the new software OSX will crash everything you thought once worked and wreck havoc.
Sounds awesome! I’m in!
Thanks again Apple.
....I’ll stick to my routine of buying this in 6 years or so when the video people need something new.

This thing is a monster, but the price point is insane! Let’s all say our prayers that the ghost of Steve Jobs appears in Tim Apple, I mean Cooks dreams and reminds him that besides the Watch the Mini is pretty much the only Apple product that hasn’t gotten the pro treatment is the Mini. |

It's all about the Afterburner. Imagine handling 16 8k video streams without even taxing the Intel CPU's.
The Afterburner is an FPGA. So it could be reconfigured for audio instead of video.

If Steve Jobs hadn't gotten fired, we'd all be using Ataris! The iPad was his idea of what a proper Mac should be.
There are a couple of big post houses in Hollywierd who no longer want any part of Apple or Microsoft.

There are a couple of big post houses in Hollywierd who no longer want any part of Apple or Microsoft. Who could blame them? As I have been saying for years we the audio and video community like many need a real OS built for buisness not the overly fat consumer OS’s that we have now, but then my primary tracking DAW is still running BE ( RADAR V/24)! |

It all began on Unix but then hitched a ride on the consumer stuff which brought the price under ten to a hundred grand.
