I need to use TensorFlow for machine learning. I cannot use a graphics card other than from Nvidia.Stop using god damn AMD graphics chips. They're ****

Maybe they will make the new iMac Thicker...........
Not sure the Xeon is necessary in an iMac.
Rant time... Does Phil Schiller actually work? I feel like his team is totally reactionary instead of visionary.
I never understood why anyone would want or prefer an extremely thin desktop. Its not like people carry them around all the time.
Cheers.
What an excellent idea, it gets my voteView attachment 695151 How cool would it be for Apple to release the Mac Mini for standalone purchase/use and then create identically-sized modules for CPU upgrade, RAM upgrade, optical drive upgrade? They all just stack on top of one another magnetically, and communicate via a metal ring that runs along the top edges of each stackable component? There would be the Mac Mini (base) but add a few stacks on and you've got a full-fledged Mac Pro!
They'll do what they've always do. Make the edges thin and photograph it carefully in the publicity shots.Buuuut Johnny Ive is obsessed with thinness... What will he possibly do if he can't demand the thing is thinner?!
No, Apple has pointed out, that Metal is the way. OpenGL wii go to legacy state sooner or later. Same will happen to OpenCL 1.2.The problem with Nvidia is is that they prefer to support CUDA, while Apple has made it clear they intend to go with openCL and openGL. I say this knowing that Apple's support for OpenGL and OpenCL is a joke. AMD on the other hand has thrown their support behind these frameworks.
I work in a creative studio that use iMacs exclusively and most of us have iMacs at home. So i beg to differ. I for one am waiting patiently for this next upgrade. As a pro solution is ridiculously overpriced.I honestly thought iMac market has died. All personal computer users pick a laptop (that can double into a desktop with screen and keyboard) or pro users will go for pro computer. Its really hard to find someone who actually have a desktop machine for "personal" use.
Maybe businesses...but those use Windows....
A Mac mini rumor! *tears of joy*
If Apple really wanted to be visionary, they'd develop a unified memory computer with 32-128 GB HBM2 memory, a 1080Ti quality GPU, and a 8-16 core CPU. That would be a visionary version of computing that could be a leap ahead of what the Windows world can deliver. I hope they're considering that for the Mac Pro.
No, there's going to be Metal v1.3. It should do all the same tricks as Vulkan does. Lets see, just few months to wait.
Because a decent number of Pro users probably want ECC RAM (whose sole purpose is to have fewer hidden errors when writing/reading) without having to nearly double the total purchase cost (Mac Pro is more expensive, then you need an expensive display on top of that).Why Xeon in an iMac? Why ECC RAM? I think these should be part of what differentiates a MacPro.
It also has a lower TDP 73W vs 91W which should be a slightly quieter and cooler machine as well.A E3-1275v5 has the same cost as an i7-6700K, and is only slightly slower.
