iMac Pro debuts custom Apple T2 chip to handle secure boot, password encryption, more

That would be a huge leap from building off of the S1P to building off of the A10. The A10 has a ton of horsepower. If it turns out the T2 is based off of the A10, I suspect it will do *a lot* more than a secure enclave in the future.tipoo said:It's also possible the T2 is based off the A10. The T1 was based off the first Watch SoC.
Well, Steve Troughton-Smith was playing around with a system files targeting the A10 in the iMac Pro. I find it unlikely there's both, a T2 and an A10 side by side, so it seems very possible the T2 is just a very A10-like chip.
Certainly overkill for mobile, but a desktop has no such concerns.

Apple's $4,999 all-in-one iMac Pro launches Thursday, Dec. 14
The only reason I can think of that they removed the RAM door is better airflow. It did show socketed RAM in the render video.rogifan_new said:
I’m not a pro user. Just curious the reason for completely sealing the machine. Apple wants to force pro users to pay their upgrade pricing? If it’s an engineering reason then does that signal bad design descisions? As we saw with the trash can Mac Pro Apple sometimes gets it wrong. Why do you think Apple made this decision?Mike Wuerthele said:
You and me both. That said, there are already posts here, in this thread that heavily lean in that direction.brucemc said:Thank god! Hopefully this means less complaining from the hard core Mac side of the house, and stalls any further "Apple can't deliver" talk on the forums.
I too wish for a RAM door, ECC RAM is expensive, ECC RAM from Apple is tear inducing

Giving the X to youtubers first was fine I guess, giving the iMac Pro to a bunch of youtubers first is kind of a chuckle lol.
Here's the most detailed tests I've seen, numbers of course look good

10-core Vega 64 iMac Pro first impressions video posted by prominent YouTuber MKBHD
mr o said:Is this machine suitable for mining cryptocurrency, like Bitcoins, and Litecoins?
It'd be great if the iMac Pro could earn its investment back while you're doing your creative work.
>:x
It's 83% of a regular Vega 64s performance with the top end GPU for mining crypto. So a good miner, but a horrible use of over 5000 dollars for mining. If you have a pro workstation need that this fills, it'll be good for mining on the side yes, just not the best you could do per dollar.
