They wield faster Intel processors up to 10 cores, and AMD's Radeon Pro 5000 GPUs.

They really need to update that design. It's not changed in more than 10 years.

Up to 65 per cent more plug-ins in Logic Pro X.
Up to 40 per cent faster 8K ProRes transcode in Final Cut Pro X.
Up to 35 per cent faster rendering with Arnold in Autodesk Maya.
Up to 25 per cent faster build time in Xcode.
etc, etc..

"Up to", tech company marketing department's favourite words...

Up to 0% value for money

Uuuuuu.

Sadly i am not privileged to be allowed to own such marvelous hardware, so i must stay in PC with the plebs.

I don't think we'll see a redesign until they release the new models with Apple CPUs in them.

So, I just went to spec their new iMac on their US site.

That new screen with nano coating is optional. And that will cost you +500USD! The coating.

Top config will cost you 8799USD for 10cores Intel CPU, 128Gb, 16Gb Radeon 5700xt, 10Gb LAN,8Tb SSD and nano coating of the screen.

This is definitely going to workstation price range and I wonder if an Threadripper based one wouldn't be a better choice (condition being you are not locked into using Apple software).

"Top config will cost you 8799USD"

And how much just for one?

A 730p webcam - that' s a new resolution on me...

I think we all know a threadripper based system would be better in many ways and deffo better value for money...
I've seen a fair few businesses that I know jumping ship recently. Just cannot justify the Apple tax any longer... and going ARM/Apple silicon just pushed them over the edge

An extra 10 lines, that's the Apple bonus!
