And the second thing I noticed is that Apple is doing the comparison of the older Mac Pro, iMac Pro to the new Mac Pro with all 28 cores! I have no idea what the 28-core Mac Pro will sell for, but I am guessing that it will run a minimum of $10,000. But I don't know that I have ever run a "well-threaded filter" and would love to know if my everyday tasks in Photo Mechanic and Adobe Photoshop will be faster. What the heck is that? Having spend 20+ years in marketing at technology companies, I can assume that Apple looked for the the most processor intensive tasks to show off the new computer. The first thing I notice is that Apple is running this test using "faster processing of well-threaded filters". On Apple's web site, they show this speed comparison for a task done in Adobe Photoshop CC So.looking at this price vs performance, my first thought was to compare this new Mac to an iMac or iMac Pro. Since I don't see myself ever spending $5000 on a monitor, I figure I am looking at a starting price of $7100 to get the new Mac with a third party display. Yikes! I am currently using a Samsung 32" 4K monitor, which is no longer current, but you can find this model for only $600 at B&H. Apple's new 6K monitor looks simply amazing, but will set you back another $5000. This will likely put the price at approximately $6500.Īnd then, of course, you will need to purchase a monitor. These specs are OK for photographers, but I would never recommend a 256GB SSD and would suggest a minimum of 512GB. This computer is going to start at $6000, which will get you an 8-core Intel Xeon processor, 32GB of memory and a 256GB solid state drive. Lets start with the base price of the new Mac Pro. But having used Macs for 15 years and knowing the technical ins and outs, I am able to make some pretty confident conclusions here.
Before continuing this blog post (and what is probably fairly obvious since the computer is not even out yet) I should say that I have not actually tried the new Mac Pro and I am basing this blog post on all the specs and information that Apple announced today.
