    Hey @VRing, does that supposed magical and revolutionary custom build of yours that is SO much better than an iMac Pro do this? Didn't think so and never will! 
    I know you're just flaming, but TPM chips have been in the vast majority of Windows computers and motherboards for enterprise use for years. As well, a number of these types of computers have a self-healing BIOS to restore a corrupt or potentially attacked BIOS.
    Too bad thats not the same thing as the T2 chip...try again!
    It's not meant to be the same, but provide a secure hardware solution for systems for over a decade now. 
    So your build doesn't do this then. Thought so. I guess custom builds aren't so great after all....
    Different approach to a similar problem, especially when dealing with hardware level encryption on an NVMe drive.

    You have little to no interest in the actual topic, this is nothing more than a personal attack as you simply reply with inflammatory posts.

  • Watch: 5K gaming on an iMac Pro

    Those drivers definitely need some work.

    On a different note, as you have Boot Camp up and running, can see some SPEC workstation benchmarks now? SolidWorks, NX, Maya, Creo, etc.

    I shall use mine for gaming, just trying to decide if I should upgrade to the better GPU!
    You have to ask yourself if the extra $600 is worth it. Will you benefit from extra VRAM? Both cards are already downclocked.

    Top: iMac Pro 8 core / 32 GB with Vega 64
    Bottom: iMac Pro 8 core / 32 GB with Vega 56 





    Apple Insider saw a 10% throttle for the Vega 56 GPU after 15 minutes at load, that might be even worse for the Vega 64 version.
    Unfortunately there isn't a way for us to check the frequency of the Vega 56 under MacOS, but at the end of our 15-minute test, the last graphics score we received was 1667 with an average 66 frames per second. This is roughly 10 percent lower than the score of 1831 we received when running the benchmark by itself, where the CPU isn't also being maxed at the same time.

    To ensure that this performance loss wasn't due to limited CPU power going to the graphics benchmark, we monitored the percentage of CPU performance Unigine Heaven was receiving. In both the isolated graphics test and simultaneous CPU and GPU benchmarks Unigine was receiving the same 5 percent to 7 percent of processing power, meaning that a 10 percent lower score is likely from the graphics chip throttling itself in order to keep the system from getting too hot.

    To give everyone an idea of performance based on Samsung's claims.

    Apple A10 (iPhone 7 Plus)

    -Geekbench Single Core: 3,438
    -Geekbench Multi Core: 5,723
    -3DMark Sling Shot Extreme (Metal): 1,986

    Exynos 8895 (Galaxy S8)

    -Geekbench Single Core: 1,956
    -Geekbench Multi Core: 6,432
    -3DMark Sling Shot Extreme (OpenGL): 3,142

    Apple A11 (iPhone X)

    -Geekbench Single Core: 4,203
    -Geekbench Multi Core: 10,103
    -3DMark Sling Shot Extreme (Metal): 2,691

    Exynos 9810 (expected performance)

    -Geekbench Single Core: 3,912 (2x performance increase)
    -Geekbench Multi Core: 9,005 (1.4x performance increase)
    -3DMark Sling Shot Extreme (OpenGL): 3,770 (1.2x performance increase)

    Geekbench values: https://browser.geekbench.com/
    3DMark values: https://www.futuremark.com/hardware/mobile

    It looks like Samsung will extend their graphics lead and start approaching Apple in single core and multi core performance. It's clear that Apple has a decent lead in CPU performance.
    What? They announced a chip without announcing the product that will use it? Well I’m sure Android P will have deep feature integration with this... /s
    If you don't have a clue, better don't talk about it!!! This chip Exynos 9810 will be used in Samsung's flagship phones (S9, S9+, Note 9 or whatever it is called) for 2018, except for USA/China where Qualcomm's Snapdragon 845 will be used. This is known to everyone in Android world.

    Defensive much?

    Contrary, both the other user and I posted known facts. You, on the other hand, are just flaming with nothing to add.
