MP 7,1 Tahoe on 7,1 is intentionally set up as "Planned Obsolescence"

[SDAVE]

I've been a Mac user for over 20 years and never believed this, but now I am beginning to realize this is true.

On a $25,000 (used to be) Mac Pro, 26.2 Tahoe runs like trash. Mind you, this is a production machine.

It runs like a Pentium 4, really boggles my mind that Apple would go this far to make Tahoe useless.

I will be downgrading to Sequoia after backing up my files.

I've never seen any version of macOS run like this, especially on a high end and VERY capable machine like this. I literally cannot get any work done in Adobe suite. Constant stuttering, beachballs, you name it.

Yeah from videos I've seen online, in worst case scenarios it runs worse than Sequoia or Sonoma do on a cMP, which is just mind-boggling.

i wouldn't put something like this past Apple. Maybe they want to force the pros to move to AS Mac Studio or the new Mac Pro 🤔

Insane that they pulled this move. Besides liquid glass (which I disabled) there's nothing else in Tahoe that requires this much bugginess and slow downs on an Intel MP (which is still supported).

Tahoe runs fine on my M1 Max.

Corporate greed really did a number on Apple.

I've got signatures switched off, and people shouldn't need to google for extra info when it can be easily put into the post. Thanks for the clarficiation.

2022 for mine, one of them ordered brand new from Apple at big cost. The other wasn't cheap either. I wouldn't put it past Apple to deliberately slow down these machines.

I have Adobe Creative Suite on this one and no issues like that, other than the irritations of the account sign-in process which has high security on it (not the usual Adobe account sign-in).
