MP 7,1 Why Apple is advertising Mac Pro 2019 with Photoshop?

And I can criticize their cooling system. So what's the point?

Yes you have every right to do so. Absolutely.

How fast can Photoshop really get though?

With the highest clock speed, it can go faster. But the core number is limited up to 8 cores.

What is currently the fastest Mac for Photoshop?

Technically, iMac's i9-9900K with 5ghz clock speed is the fastest. BUT, because of the poor cooling system, iMac 2019 can maintain the speed at 3.8ghz according to the Youtube testing.

Yup, blame Apple's worst cooling system.

iMac Pro has a better cooling system but I wouldnt spend too much money on that thing just for Photoshop.

lol I wish I can but the fan size and design are more important.

Thank you for the information🙂

That’s exactly what I got. I use it only for photoshop and other photosoftware like dxo and so on...

I have no problem stating the 28 core, dual GPU Pro will be faster, however like a previous poster mentioned the CPU is ~$7500, 2 GPU's are ~$7000, RAM ~$9000 (iMac Pro 256 is $5200, 128 $2000). My guess is this is at least a $30K+ system being compared (not unfavorably) to a $4000 system. Course putting your own RAM in will save $7k since Apple's markup is insane (Dell is bad too just not quite so bad). Heat throttling should be massively superior to iMac for continuous processing.

For my Photoshop users there is no value. For my rendering and animation team maybe... but unlikely at $30-40k each.
