Great review Mike. I’d be curious to see where the top 28-core Xeon in the Mac Pro 7,1 would land on the benchmark charts. A lot of people are just showing benchmarks against other Apple Silicon Macs, but comparing the new Mac Pro against the previo…

Good report Mike. I also don’t think 2023 Mac Pro will sell nearly as well as the 2019 Pro. I hope that dip in sales prompts them to double down on improving future Mac Pros, rather than abandoning it altogether. I’d guess that they would have like…

Grabbing some popcorn... curious to see how the VR wars play out once Apple steps into the arena... Clarification on the code names: Stinson Beach is a popular beach town in Marin County, Northern California, north of San Francisco and Facebook's …

I have to say I agree that Apple’s ban on any mention of purchases or accounts outside the App Store does harm Apple users. As an Apple user wouldn’t you want to know if there is a cheaper option available before making an in-app purchase? I know …

Because I and some colleagues were so curious about the possibility of M2 supporting 20Gbps USB Gen 2x2, I actually got ahold of a Sandisk Extreme PRO Gen 2x2 SSD V2 (1TB) which advertises 20Gbps speeds, and took it to the Apple Store today. Sadly, …

great to see that Apple is putting some resources into promoting gaming on their platforms.

Very interesting. Optional GPU expansion card(s) augmenting the M2 Ultra’s integrated GPU is the only way I can see an Apple Silicon Mac Pro truly matching or exceeding the capabilities of the current Intel Mac Pro’s dual Radeon Pro W6900X GPU opt…

Since I ordered a different 4TB SSD today, my experience with this horrible drive came to mind. Out of curiosity I took a look and I see plenty of Amazon reviews that unfortunately do echo my experience. As it's still on the market and the price ha…

Blokkhead said: Curious pricing, given that stand-alone SanDisk 4TB Extreme PRO Portable SSD - Up to 2000MB/s - USB-C, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (same speeds) is $379 amazon delivered. Based on this news, I just ordered an open box 4TB Sandisk Extre…

That's a great clarification Mike, thanks for the update! Wow this is the first news about the M2 series that has really made me consider upgrading my M1 Ultra Mac Studio when the M2 Ultra Macs hit the market...

Wow the M2 Max supports USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 at 20Gbps? That's a scoop right there, I haven't seen that reported anywhere! Since I work in film editing I have a keen interest in how quickly I'm able to copy several terabytes of data between drives. Tha…

What computer did you use that was able to get close to 20Gbps read/write speeds? I was under the impression that no Mac has USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x2 ports, and that any Gen 2x2 device would operate at 10 Gbps speeds. Perhaps that’s not the case with USB4 …

keithw said: If I did the math right, the M2 Max over the M1 Max was 47.5% higher on "Metal." Hypothesizing equal improvements, we may get 139,500 out of the M2 Ultra in the Studio (whenever Apple decides to release it.) That's ALMOST as fas…

Typo: A new report says that the last Mac Pro, the last Mac to switch to Apple Silicon, is being tested alongside the forthcoming iOS 16.3. That iOS update is probably no more than a few weeks away… The rumor is about macOS not iOS: Apple Silicon …

I think your headline meant to say “10 gigabit speeds”
