Re: Does This Kill The Mac Pro?

The people that I work with. Us, here at the shop.

[Frank Gothmann] "When the first Macpros came out they were as beefy as any PC out there. The fact that Apple doesn't offer Nvidia cards anymore is bad but typical political bs on their behalf. They could have done so much more on the hardware side for higher end users but that's just not their game anymore."

The MacPros have traditionally not been the highest powered PC on the market. Look at them today, they haven't been refreshed in quite a while, and they are not the fastest computers on the market. Even when they are brand new and perhaps match up spec wise, that doesn't last for long. As a system, they are never as beefy. You can customize a PC much easier than you can a Mac in terms of cache, bus, processors and connectivity.

Apple has usually always favored system stability over speed.
