Re: New "Mac Studio" from Apple
Quote:
The bottleneck seems to be sample storage via Thunderbolt though. The Mac Pro still has a big advantage here with internal PCIe so I’m sticking with it for now. I’m speculating wildly here but I wouldn’t be surprised if Apple Silicon Mac Pros don’t have PCIe slots, especially if future chips have more powerful GPUs and a lot more RAM. I’m making an uneducated guess that additional storage will be in the form of Apple’s own proprietary NVMe. If you do want PCIe expansion Apple will expect you to do it externally via Thunderbolt.

Re: New "Mac Studio" from Apple
Oh I'll put my money on PCIe slots in he new Mac Pro... I expect that to largely define the "Mac Pro". Lots of folks want PCIe slots, for storage and options cards not just HDX cards. I mean how are you supposed to get 400 Gbit Ethernet into one of these boxes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
PCIe hanging off a chip stuck between the Ultra chips? Or a variant based on a M2? But will it be PCIe 3? 4? 5? (better be at least 4) and how many lanes??? And yes then having PCIe slot to M.2 adapters will give gobs of storage performance. Eagerly waiting on seeing what is announced at WWDC. |

Re: New "Mac Studio" from Apple
Blast from the past. We were heavily into those as well. The best orchestral sounds at that time. The flakiest storage I've ever dealt with -- I bet we mistakenly wiped the entire samples hard drive three times just trying to get betas of its earliest sample librarian to work. First message it sent out through SCSI, boom! Everything, gone.

Re: New "Mac Studio" from Apple
Yeah I was reading the article this morning and saw Darryl and thought, "Wow! There you go!" Then I saw Dave Marsden and was like, "Wait a minute!" and then flipped when I saw Forest Walker - my pen name on Disqus.

Re: New "Mac Studio" from Apple
Yeah nice aye.
He Darryl & Marsdy would be great if you could keep an eye on my other thread about what we need with the Mac Studio. I'm going to try and update it with any findings and if all goes well perhaps update the original post with stickies. Cheers

Re: New "Mac Studio" from Apple
Ugh I just saw that. It's mostly a good article but screws up on Thunderbolt 4 having a single lane issue. That just won't affect folks in practice here, at best it should be a minor footnote. You think they would provide a link to contact/email the author.
