One interesting tidbit is that a Logic Pro X update came down last night. In its notes is a comment that it adds support for up to 36 cores on the iMac Pro. Typo or sign of things to come. Hmm…

This is just a reference to the 18 core iMac Pro. Xeon W supports Hyper Threading, so each physical core shows up as two ‘logical’ cores.

Ah, yes. That makes sense.

Bob, I remember a note from you when we did an install with you in Denmark: “When it beeps, don’t panic” (-: Glad to see that the hysteria is over now the cards are on the table, and I agree that the iMac Pro is priced very reasonably. I had the opportunity to work with the 10-core/Vega 64/64GB RAM, which I think is the sweet spot for heavy-duty editing. It’s a wonderful machine.
As to upgrading old computers: I have never found this good business. In the days that I ran two post houses we always completely renewed our Mac machine park every 2 or 3 years. We bought the best Macs we could get, they paid for themselves after 6 months, we made decent profits out of them for another 2 years, then we sold them at a good price to professionals, companies and schools with less demanding workflows than ours and we bought the newest ones. Given the high value of second-hand Macs, it was a win-win for all parties involved. I think this is still valid today.

We usually keep until 2.5 years, then sell while AppleCare is still active. Always got us a higher price (as they knew the machine really worked).
