New MacPro, iMacs
-
I read the 12-core top of the line base model will be $4999
-
even Windows 7 64 on a HP workstation is not looking bad at all for Resolve
-
Actually that $4,999 price is that bad considering that the price of the HP’s Z600 workstation starts at $5,699. Those hexacore chips don’t come cheap.

re: USB 3, it took Apple 2 years to support USB after it came out.
The first computer it appeared on was the iMac G3 in 1998, so when (if) it shows up, don’t expect it to be on a Mac Pro first…even though a pro customer can really make the best use of it!

Glad everyone else is as p***ed as me about this!
I’m actually pretty much off the idea of DaVinci based on this update. Nucuda Fuse looks the right way to go. Now if only I can convince Greg to do me a deal based on my upcoming award!
I was offered a free Scratch for 6 months, might have to take them up on that, although I find the system geared far to much towards compositing.
Grr…

Somebody on a similar thread in the FCP forum pointed to this article about Light Peak – a connection to replace FW, USB, DisplayPort….
The article is from last year, and said that we’d see computers with Light Peak available by now, but hey, another connector is always a good thing, right? I mean, if there’s anything we need, it’s one more connector that’s incompatible with everything else.
Kidding aside, Apple may look at USB 3 as transitional enough that they can skip over it….

If USB 3.0 will be here and gone.. what will be replacing it in the short term?
I just checked and you can buy external hard drives that have USB 3.0.. and we have heard about Blackmagic’s capturing devices for USB 3.0. Seems like USB 3.0 would be useful today. Would it cost Apple that much to put USB 3 ports instead of USB 2?

If only they gave us 2-3 more PCIe slots, we’d be able to at least fit our own USB3, fibre, GPUs and whatever else comes along.

What\’s p***ng me off more about Apple is that they stopped listening to creative pros, who were always loyal to Apple, they hinted that with FCS 3 and they confirmed it now with this new MacPro, all they care now is about teenage girls tweeting about the Twilight movies.

The problem with Scratch is that performance wise, compares to a DaVinci for Mac, but costs more than DaVinci for Linux, and not as good though.
