so basically I don’t really know if it can handle my setup nicely thru various HUBs. Regarding the M1 until now, I couldn’t find something: on the intel version, the two USB ports are connected to the same controller, is it the same on the M1? If it’s the case, I can only connect the RME UFX on it. Regarding the Mac Pro 2009, no, the CPU tray died. Regarding upcoming products I totally agree with you but, there is a but, in the past I owned a MacBook (I still have it actually, just using it as audio analyzer with flux:: (this is where the 2nd RJ45 port of the Mac Pro is very welcome)) and an iMac, but it don’t really fit my setup. What you mean by not reliable? they tend to physically fail or you mean not powerful enough? both? If anyone could give their thoughts to help me it would be very much appreciated :) As mac pro 2013 has been sold until late 2018, it should be supported at least until 2023, but sometimes Apple is full of surprise :( If the Mac Pro can hold until 2023 that would give me enough time to see what will come and why not a sort of mac mini pro or let’s say a more advanced one, with more TB/USB port and a M2 chip, why not (?). Usually Apple support its products 5 to 7 years after they stopped to make it. To be honest, even if the 2013 mac pro is compatible with Big Sur, I’m a bit scared because what if Apple claim next OS needs T2 chip in a year or so? Then T1 equipped macs won’t be able to get the last version of the OS and Logic as well :/ (just to be clear, I don’t need the last OS, I just need to be able to update Logic, but as you know Apple is linking its things).īeing future proof is indeed also important to me. I don’t really mind waiting for 3rd party plugins, my main and most important tool is Logic. My choices are the mac mini M1 (with 16Gb RAM and 1Tb SSD) or a Mac Pro 2013 (I can have one for 1000 euros). In fact, my mac pro 2009 (2×2,26 nehelem) died. You also get eight Thunderbolt ports and six PCI slots for modular expansion – and that’s on all models.Īnd remember how the 2019 Mac Pro required a $2000 Afterburner Card for decoding ProRes and ProRes RAW video? The M2 Ultra chip inside the Mac Pro has the power of seven Afterburner Cards.MacBook Pro 14" 2021, M1 Pro 8-Core 32GB RAM That’s still an increase from the $6,999 starting price, but it’s not $50K. $12,299 gets the rack-mountable Mac Pro with the M2 Ultra chip, 8 TB of SSD storage, and 192 GB of RAM. If Apple silicon could support it within current chip design constraints, why wouldn’t Apple support it? It’s just not possible today, at least for any reasonable cost.īack to cost, however, just how much is a new maxed-out Mac Pro? It’s less than $50,000. However, I’m sure there are absolutely use cases where a terabyte of RAM is useful. Personally, none of these astronomically high memory numbers make any logical sense to me, and I do know how baseline Mac performance feels on Apple silicon compared to Intel. The machine also supported dual Radeon Pro Vega II Duo graphics cards with 2 x 32 GB of HBM2 memory each. Compared to 192 GB unified memory in the new Apple silicon Mac Pro, the final Intel Mac Pro supported up to a mind-melting 1.5 TB of DDR4 ECC memory. How much memory are we talking about? The Intel Xeon W-powered Mac Pro supported up to 12 sticks of 128 GB RAM. That said, the highest-end 2019 Mac Pro at launch could offer a little more RAM. It’s impossible to overstate how tuned for Mac hardware Apple silicon is compared to Intel chips.
