I read an article where a vfx person put the Dyson smokeless ashtray…er New Mac Pro
to the test against a year old 12-core mac tower with near maxed out specs.
The results were over all, not much more performance.
One BIG issue that needs to be addressed is Apple/Adobe working
together to improve OpenCL to unleash the full power of the FirePro Gpus it has.
And like someone else mentioned, optimizing for RED debayering in the GPU.
