I have a top of the line imac late 2012, and considering to buy a new one when it comes out this year.
I was considering to invest in a Mac Pro, but since my main tools are AE and Photoshop - and since Adobe is stuck in the past, it seems like a total waste of money - because I won´t benefit from all the computer power.
THough, my current imac has the 680MX with 2gb VRAM and the current one all ready has up to 4gb VRAM available. It´s allready a good machine, but I´m hoping the next to get even higher specs.
Here´s what I wish for:
-up to 64 gb or RAM (faster ram than the current)
-faster ssd (but 1gb is enough in size imo)
-next gen gpu up to 6 gb of VRAM (or 8gb )
-Thunderbolt 2, though I dont think its thunderbolt 1 that is the bottleneck.
-6 or 8 cores cpu (I know future updates of AE will benefit more from this)
-3 or 4 thunderbolt slots(since one is used by my second monitor)
Any chance of the imac of 2014 could get any of this? -when do you think we will se an upgrade?
I know this is on the verge of not being a consumer level machine, but it would be enough for me for a long time, unless Adobe decides to step up their game.
