Apple scales back plans for 'Extreme' Apple Silicon Mac Pro
Nobody knows what the new Mac Pro will look like or what the features will be. This rumor is that the extreme chip which may never have existed or planned will not happen. Is it just 196GB of on chip memory or will it have additional memory off chip that will be slower? I can guess that, at least some Pros will not be happy if they don’t get a beast of a computer that beats the current Mac Pro in all aspects.
Apple already does some grid computing. Final Cit Pro’s Compressor module can be installed on multiple computers to encode video. You don’t need a high amount of computers to make a difference. Every bit helps for smaller businesses. I don’t know how well it works or what kind of network is needed.I keep imagining a Mac Pro as a desktop version of a Cray 1 super computer. The CPU modules would have an edge connector that plugs into a network that connects all the cpu modules in the center as a loop. In the seat, would be hard drives, power supplies and external signal connections, USB, Thunderbolt and video. The idea of the ring in the center is to reduce space between cpu modules for signal quality. -
Apple scales back plans for 'Extreme' Apple Silicon Mac Pro
There are some people who require tons of memory and used the 1.5TB of memory. For those people, I do not see how 192GB of memory is going to work for them. Yes people can get away with smaller memory, but not that much shrinkage. The Studio has up to 128GB of memory, so this wouldn't increase memory that much. Is this just going to be a M2 Mac Studio in a bigger box with more expandability of something? For that matter, is the M2 Mac Studio going to offer up to 192GB of memory? -
Apple gear that isn't iPhone tops Christmas lists for many in 2022
This is a shopping website, with the report unavailable to non-members. The iPhone could be #2 in demand for each state and still not make the list of being the most. Additionally, this is only for the most searched products. -
