Mac Pro Rising

[sigmadog]

So far, watching the show (the Apple TV part), I have two complaints:

1. Apple products are more focused on content consumers than creators.
2. Nobody tucks their shirt in anymore.

Let's hope today is "Heelllooo again!" and not, "Hell no! Again!?"

 

[kennyisalive]

Snoozefest.

How do these people get paid designing such mediocre TV interfaces.

 

[Flint Ironstag]

Yeah, this is what Apple TV should have been from the beginning. Get on with it.

 

[sigmadog]

Yay. Emoji's.

 

[phairphan]

Yay. Emoji's.

Why do I have a feeling the impetus for Touch Bar was emoji?

 

[JesperA]

Maybe the updated Mac Pro will look like an emoji

 

[BeechFlyer]

Yay. Emoji's.

Of course. What were you expecting?

 

[phairphan]

Wonder if there will be an external keyboard with Touch Bar? Seems odd they would leave iMac out of this, especially Touch ID.

 

[kennyisalive]

Are they seriously touting the Macbook Pro as a FCP desktop-based workstation???

I'm not sure who they're trying to fool...? They keep using buzzwords like "performance" with absolutely no metrics. Maybe people just now looking to get into Youtube with no prior editing experience will fall for it?

No Apple 5K display but LG...
(another "crazy" leak confirmed)

That Radeon Pro GPU can have 2 TFLOPs of compute power. For that form factor that is no slouch.

Unfortunately, Apple's displays are gone for good...

And this is the confirmation of the statement about the excellent "third party displays" some time ago..

 

[phairphan]

Wonder how they're powering that 5k display with a single TB 3 connection, precisely. Two DP 1.2 streams? Embedded GPU in display?

However, that form factor also suffer from over heating / thermal throttling. I doubt how long the GPU can maintain 2 TFLOPS

No, Thunderbolt 3 actually includes 2 displayport 1.2 transports. It's working in MST mode like 5K display on current nMP (sniff)

 

[Tesseract]

2 tflops is also not that great - form factor or not. And no option to upgrade. 2 tflops was average for desktop gpus 5 years ago. For probably half the price. I'm also guessing with "Up to 10 hours" of battery life, thats more like 1.5 hours max of rendering time before the juice runs out. Nobody is going to use this for work. It is a toy.

 

[koyoot]

Silence...

All we got is silence.

 

[sigmadog]

…aaaaaand that's all, folks. See ya, Apple.

Here's something...

That's what I presumed. TB really chaps my hide.

 

[Flint Ironstag]

Mac Pro sinking... welp... time to look at HP & Puget.

 

[JesperA]

Wow, this was, hmm, wow, okay, Tim, Tim, Tim, what goes on in your head?

 

[Aldaris]

The new update looked like a slimmed down version of what we already have. >(

All we got is silence.

Seems the keynote wasn't complete 1h23min instead usual 2h
