Hmmm, just checked, best I could do is save as CC12; as AE will only let you save down a single version.

This was a interesting question, so here is what I came up with. The Spring is drawn using the “Beam” effect so I am not sure you will have the control or look you are trying to accomplish, but see attached project. You can control most all of it from the “_SPRING GLOBALS” layer.

Well if anyone was going to respond…too late; went with the Mac. Did not want to have any surprises crop up with Windows that would have soured my mood.

I think trying to setup a network like situation over TB is a dead end. The switch would be very expensive compared to GigE (and probably even 10gbit) switches and not make sense as has been suggested for a few machines.
I do lightwave renders over GigE with 3 8-Core MacPros and I never get the sense that it is even sweating.
It would probably be cheaper to just go with 10gbit ethernet, which already has devices and a strong foothold.

Hmmm, that is a good point since PCEe 2.0 only gets 2GB/sec over 4 lanes.
Perhaps the TB and the GPUs are tied directly to the CPU lanes. That would allow the GigE and the UBS3 to be tied to the chipset lanes.
It will be interesting once someone gets a hold of one and tries to reverse engineer.
I am holding off any negative judgements until more info is released; from what we do know, it seems like a very capable out of the box kit for 3d animators and motion graphic designers.

First, the new MacPro uses PCIe 3.0, which is 985MB/sec per lane. Not sure how mane lanes they dedicated to each TB controller, but TB2 is only 20Gb/sec which is only 2.5 GB/sec. So in theory they only need 3-4 PCIe 3.0 lanes to handle the data rate.
16 lane PCIe 3.0 is 15.75 GB/sec (gigabytes vs gigabits).
That could be were the confusion is. GB = gigabytes , Gb = gigabits
As far as TB1 devices being plugged in, it probably isn’t a big deal since it will only be asking for half the allowed rate.
Not exactly sure how may PCIe lanes the new Haswell chip has, but I have seen the number 40 mentioned.

Pretty much think it is a joke that Apple is bragging about streaming uncompressed video footage for editing off the internal storage. 768GB isn’t even close to having enough storage for any sort of editing using uncompressed footage.

Thanks Jeff,
I will take a look tomorrow. Working on a project right now.

How do you create presets — I searched for something similar to AE’s Render and Output templates.
This whole FCP X mess is going to be the death of me. Do you know if the AJA IoHD will work at all with PPro? (at least as a output device)
(and thanks for the reply.)

The problem with the premise that every core gets or should get 2GB is that isn’t the way computers or software addresses memory.
The computer does not automatically split the memory into equal parts for each core. When a process running on a core needs more memory, if available it gets it; or something gets flushed to VM and then it gets it.
You can easily have a single threaded 64bit app use all available memory if you like.
Apps like After Effects can benefit from extra RAM when doing previews and such. All I would suspect is that more RAM = more layers, more effects, more filters provided you have not saturated your hard drive system or the FSB of the system.
3D apps probably benefit the most when it comes to RAM, and you are running a 64bit OS and software.
