[Rich Rubasch] “I’m confused by the Radeon Vega II Duo…is the advantage there that it is a single slot card? I certainly want to reserve slots if that is the case.”

As I understand the price table, you can get 1 card with 1 GPU, 2 of those, 1 card with 2 GPUs, and 2 cards with 2 GPUs (total of 4). The advantage to getting two cards is more TB ports, I believe.

[Rich Rubasch] “For example it’s pretty well documented that the iMac Pro monitor is oversaturated.”

It’s oversaturated in apps other than FCPX. I’m not sure that it’s incorrect in FCPX. But I haven’t double-checked that.

OK, it’s live.

Base is still $5,999 (w/o display, AppleCare, wheels)

“Reasonable” configuration – 16-core / 96GB RAM / Vega II Duo / 2TB SSD – $14,999
(w/o display, AppleCare, wheels)

Maxed out $52,599 with wheels & Afterburner (w/o display, AppleCare)
Also that’s still not with an 8TB SSD, which is coming. So the real max price is actually a bit higher.

But, you get 6% cash back with an Apple Card until the end of the year 🙂

It should at least answer the questions about what the prices will be for the various options.

It will also mean that reviewers start to receive demo machines. Then we’ll find out whether generic third-party hardware (storage, GPUs, other PCIe cards) will actually fit and/or work with these machines. Also the true power demands.

But what is Apple’s logic in throttling it in the first place?

[David Roth Weiss] “I just couldn’t wait the 4 to 5 hours required. “

Yikes. Seems like another example of why Catalina is still somewhat half-baked.
