2018 mac pro macbook professional#
That said, the Mac Pro languished for quite a while as professional users wondered about Apple’s end game. When it comes to graphics, no doubt Apple talks to the people at AMD, Intel and NVIDIA about their product roadmaps, so I think they knew early on about the direction of future graphics processors. Clearly they hadn’t considered the need for internal expansion. That said, is there something Apple is doing that takes more than the usual time to design such a computer? What about the designs that didn’t make the cut? Apple certainly constructs different prototypes before settling on a final design, and it’s always possible a proposed design that’s closer in concept to what they want was previously started and discarded.ĭuring the roundtable with a handful of journalists, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing, Philip Schiller, admitted Apple has misjudged what its pro users wanted, that they planned for a workstation with twin GPUs capable of parallel processing rather than a single powerful GPU. How many is an open question mark, but Apple ought to consider what a typical user would require, while leaving plenty of external expansion ports for the edge cases. So you could add multiple drives, more RAM than you can now, and perhaps expansion cards.
My feeling is that the new box will be sized somewhere between the 2013 model and the previous model, still compact but allowing for some level of internal expansion. But if Apple were to go that route, it would have been done long ago, and clearly there’s going to be a new direction. But if you look at what little we know, that it’s going to be a “modular” computer that’s easy to upgrade, they appear to be describing something like the original cheese grater Mac Pro. I will take Apple at its word that an all-new Mac Pro is forthcoming, but there are loads of unanswered questions, and plenty of room to speculate about what’s will come. That said, there has been some speculation it might not arrive next year either, but it’s not as if Apple would offer too many specifics. So if you take Apple at its word, the next Mac Pro is being developed as we speak, but it won’t arrive this year.
