This is a HUGE deal!!!!. An editing program should never under any circumstances mess with original media files PERIOD!!! And it certainly should not do so by default. The metadata belongs to the project not the media. If you desire to change metadata on source clips this should be a conscious choice. What if you are backing up data based on file changes?

Make sure you have chosen the correct colorspace to work with your application

It is highly unlikely for apple to write code for specific cards. That is pretty much the whole reason move to OPEN CL vs Cuda.

The tube is the cosmetic outside. The inside and the heat sinking area is triangular and INFERIOR in terms of thermal impedance, surface area and air flow. Sharing the heatsink area might be novel and maybe good (that is debateable). But it could have been a square or rectangular shared area which would have had greater benefits.
The shared heat sink idea is debateable for the very reason Apple says its good. Yes there is more surface area available to any given component. But shared also means that when one component generates heat all the other components get warm too. In fact they will get warm BEFORE the heat is dissipated since the FINS do the dissipating not the shared thermoconductive surfaces. All devices are in effect sitting in the same “frying pan” while forced air hopefully dissipates the heat through the fins. This is not instantaneous. The shared thermoconductive surfaces conduct heat faster than the fins can dissipate it.
Furthermore how likely is any scenarios where only the CPU or only the graphics cards is getting hot? A shared surface can easily lead to thermal runaway as the heat radiating devices generate heat while sinking the other devices heat. Remember a heat sinks surface is not unidirectional. Every thermoconductive device attached to it will get hot. I will almost guarantee that the fan on this will be working almost all the time. If the fan fails on these units the devices will probably fry. -
Even if it were to be “upgradeable” its standard interconnects for all of the parts means number of options will be ridiculously limited and expensive.

Even if it has fins it would be inefficient. And because the fins would be facing each other instead of open and exposed they would be interfering with free airflow creating micro currents and heat pockets. Again that is why the fan is necessary.

You assume they won’t be running something else on something better!

A heatsink is dependent upon open exposed surface area. In making any calculations total area is always the most important factor. The reason a fan was even needed is that the heatsink design is not efficient. Particularly the inner corners of the triangle. Those are just heat traps.
Here is a calculator to test for your self. Note that the assumption i that Air flow is parallel to fins! In a triangular heatsink it isn’t degrading its performance,

They keep spouting 4k as if it me4ans something! That is just for 4k presentation. Try rendering multiple 4k streams involving a 3d transform…

Drinking the Koolaid. A triangular design for a heatsink is less efficient, it just takes up less space.
