I don't, I'm just saying that if you are buying this thing you would should be well aware of the risks involved. I wouldn't buy it unless my employer pays the full cost & that's not happening. PC is so much better & my choice for anything that requires this amount of power, I don't give Apple's half an eff about their efficiency claims! AMD EPYC/TR all the way, always.
Except when you're running it 3 years straight without a reboot :slap:

You're right; if you're spending this much dough, you should know what you're getting, and to be fair, Mac Pros have their traditional audience who're usually wedded to the Apple ecosystem due to their tools.

I'm honestly more interested in the Mac mini, it's one of the things I've wanted to have for some time now. Pricing is just atrocious in general, though.

People keep complaining about prices but y’all should spec out a workstation from Dell and the like

Obvs who knows now that it’s Apple silicon and no ECC but the Mac Pro has historically been priced in-line with the competition, despite the cost of entry. Seems silly to buy one of these (or make them at all) over a studio when we don’t even know if they support their own afterburner cards but just saying.

Would’ve much rather seen upgraded x86 if they weren’t going to launch a bunch of ARM compatible AICs at the same time. Would’ve been really neat to see how Apple silicon performed against x86 with like-for-like AMD GPUs, for example
