mac pro defines itself as a workstation, not hpc
12 core should deliver more than processor power for their target customer
as mentioned, it you make it a 2-way, 24core system, the software will become the bottleneck since most of the apps do not scale well with 24c 48t, the performance margin per core is diminishing
in apple's keynote they mentioned the noise level of mac pro is equivalent to that of mac mini by the single, low rev fan, soon there will be hands on review to prove their claim
the dust problem depends on where you place the chassis. The existing design, when placed under the desk, can well be a vacuum clear (I had one in my office)
both Nvidia and AMD have complete different drivers in OSX, the benefit/ drawback in their windows environment could not be simply ported to the OSX. Their drivers and API related issues form Windows are irrelevant in OSX. Not to mention Autodesk will rewrite their code for the Mac version, or have no Mac version at all (3dsmax using D3D)
but one thing is clear, AMD has better OpenCL performance while Nvidia still hopelessly stuck with CUDA, which is why, AMD is a sensible choice. In fact, Mac Pro has a long history of equipping AMD graphic as default option, please check wiki for the details. Did anyone complain about that? |
