As far as I am aware, that is not possible. If you are still within the return period, consider returning for another Mac that will be to your liking.
I need 8 to 12 High performance core to be all set. So I will for sure keep the 16 GB mac mini that I just order. My 8 GB mac mini will be sent to my dad. But I was wondering ( because those new powerfull chip will only come in some months ) If i could do this for the moment.
Yes some software can offload work to so called ‘render farms’. Perhaps your software supports this or if not, I suspect you’re out of luck.
yes out of luck for now. I have downscale some of my Graph and real time calculation to be ok with my main 16gb mac. I will take it easy till those new super Mac come out. I wish they can put a 12 high efficient core in a mac mini 🙂
For now they’ve only released the bottom end versions of these machines. You’ll need to wait a bit, but they will release higher spec’d versions.
Apple used to have an application called Xgrid for distributed computing support support. I vaguely recall it required a minimum of 3 computers to function.
Xgrid was one of the many victims of the dumbing down of the Mac platform over the years.
