I’m doing comparisons of the specs vs price ( I know that we don’t know the numbers 100%) but I just read at MacRumors some updated specs:
For upgrades beyond the $3999 high-end stock configuration, here is our estimated pricing (all prices relative to the stock model):
CPU (Stock: 3.5GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5)
– 3.0GHz 8-core: +$1500
– 2.7GHz 12-core: +$3000
Graphics (Stock: Dual AMD FirePro D500 with 3GB GDDR5)
– Dual AMD FirePro D700 with 6 GB GDDR5: +$600
RAM (Stock: 16GB 1866MHz DDR3 ECC – 4x4GB)
– 32GB (4x8GB): +$400
– 64GB (4x16GB): +$1600
Flash Storage (Stock: 256GB PCIe-based)
– 512GB: +$300
– 1TB: +$800
I spend my days in FCPX, Motion, After Effects, and Photoshop.
So Cores or GPU’s Which category do you think I need the most muscle in?…if I had to choose…
