The 2020 Mac pro CPU Review. A silent killer in the tech world.

This is new. to the newest 2020 Mac pro CPU cheese grater 2020 Mac pro. There's a lot of things that. I could say about this from a couple months that I've been using it. the competitor of iMac pro core i7 4k and also behind the apple MacBook pro-2019 and now the MacBook pro-2020 or new MacBook air. The 2020 Mac pro CPU Review. A silent killer in the tech world.

.

 But mainly they boiled down to three main things.

#1

One is extremely well made to the point of like over-engineered almost.

#2

Two it's modular finally.

#3

And three it's really fast now my typical review blog for a piece of tech that's really good. And with something like it's really good. you should buy it but with this even though it's quite good it's more along the lines of you probably shouldn't buy it most people will never need this. but I'm really glad they made it.

Start 2020 Mac pro...

So this, of course, is the newest highest-end Mac ever made. The max price that you can pay for it also makes it. The most expensive Mac ever made and you might remember everyone had a good time with their headlines with that.

INSIDE Structure

But it's more than just that it's the highest-end and most modular tower computer Apple's made in years. that's something that people like me. we're waiting very patiently a very long time for so everything about. The design of the 2020 Mac pro. I mean everything from the inside out is really well done. But like to the point of over-engineered like it's. It's unnecessary. It's the most over-engineered desktop tower. I've ever seen and most of this over-engineering is in the name of aesthetics and noise. So you might remember Apple sort of showed. The world how much they really care about aesthetics and Noise.When they tried to make the last 2020 Mac pro. A tiny cylinder on your desk cooled entirely by one big fan at the top. But that didn't go so well. So while they are now finally back to making the modular tower form fact that. We were waiting for that did not stop them from making possibly. The cleanest quietest desktop computer is possible. Like the cheese grater design with the holes upfront and a mesh piece behind it. It is weird-looking to the point. Where it's like unmistakable. you know kind of like some other Apple products. This year but it's also an airflow design as much as anything you see. The entire 2020 Mac pro when you take the shell off and look inside is designed to be passively air-cooled. There isn't much of fans on any of the internal components. There's no liquid cooling.

There are just three huge blowers.
The front one here back near the rear and a bunch of heat pipes on everything. So the entire chassis is designed to pass as much airflow through the system as possible to cool everything. But airflow is not quiet and even you know fans like these are not typically quiet by themselves. If you have all three fans like this spinning at the same rate. They sort of amplifying each other and make this wine that you'll probably hear. Now a lot of CPU do this and this is fine but Apple decided to make this computer quieter they'd spin each of the fans at a slightly different rate so that they wouldn't all match. but even when you do that you sometimes end up with harmonics that sort of amplify some of the sounds and still make it audible. So the apple fan controller literally modulates the speed of each one of these fans and ramps them up and down. So that they never match and we never study so that you never hear it. It works another thing you might notice.

There have no fans in them. This means they're passively air-cooled and they really very heavily on the airflow going through those front. three fans and the heat sinks and that has its pros and cons the probe being no extra fans means no extra noise. But they also tend to be thicker than most normal parts. Because the huge heat sinks are bigger than just putting in more fans.

GPU

I mean look at the size of this GPU versus a typical high-end graphics card. But that's what they've built it around and they've even labeled the underside of the RAM. Cover for instructions on where to seat your memory depending on how many sticks. you have so you can take the best advantage of this multi-channel memory. we're working with here a lot of this stuff they just straight-up didn't have to do so they've clearly paid a lot of attention to fit and finish. So how about performance because that's why you get a computer like this at the core and for me. it's been excellent noticeably better for me even then the maxed out 18 core $12,000 iMac pro. that I came from before. I've noted with workflow examples in the past. I think animators may be high-end photographers who can take advantage of the power of the 2020 Mac pro. But if most people watching this you know video makers YouTubers even. If it's not 4k you don't even need a base 2020 Mac pro.

2020 Mac pro reviews this thing clearly powerful. it is definitely not more than. I can ever use it though it's not invincible for all intents and purposes. I have a maxed-out 2020 Mac pro aside from the 768 kegs of RAM. which could be doubled but essentially this is the best computer Apple's ever made. and you can still watch it crawl to a halt all you got to do is shoot an 8k.

Burner card

But I want to talk about that afterburner card for a minute though because that to me is really interesting. so Apple made a $2,000 PCI decoder card that essentially just decodes pro res and prores raw. so photographers don't need it at all coders. anyone making apps developing doesn't need it even if you edit in any other codec other than pro res or prores raw you will not benefit at all from an afterburner card. but if you do edit pro res. it will decode those streams and let you effortlessly playback tons of high res video streams.

Burner card  Performance

 I think I've said up to 23 consecutive streams of 4k or 8k videos. at the same time while it's basically taking that load off of the CPU. but I don't edit pro res I edit red code raw.

FPGA

So why did I get an afterburner card well this afterburner card built around FPGA is reprogrammable meaning Apple. and red can work together to enable this afterburner to accelerate red code playback. and rumor is this is something that's already in the works now I don't have any proof on my end or any updates that show that integration has come to fruition yet but the potential is definitely there for even bigger video games. and that potential exists for other codecs to Canon raw re raw. whatever other stuff you might be shooting that's not pro res yet that may eventually be optimized for the metal and give you huge performance. So maybe someday in the future, I will be able to playback five to one 8k red code and it'll just seamlessly butter through it at high quality so overall to wrap up the 2020 Mac pro let me put it this way it's not just that the 2020 Mac pro is a really expensive computer.
Which is nice but Apple decided to make the computer that took no shortcuts and took it to the max with premium things. like, build quality and end performance. So I'm happy they did that because I'm in the very very small sliver of the demographic where that's exactly what I'm looking for the downside is Apple just straight-up doesn't make a thousand dollar modular desktop tower like that's not a downside of the 2020 Mac pro that's a downside of Apple that's just a product they don't make there's a ton of products I wish  Apple would make that they just straight-up don't I wish they would make like a mirrorless camera because they already make some of the best smartphone cameras out there but they just don't make a camera desktop speakers computer speakers they don't make that a multi-device wireless charger they don't make that either so add that to the list like 900 to $1200 tower that's modular Apple just doesn't make that either. wait for MacBook pro-black Friday
MacBook pro deals. But they do make this a silent killer and I am really happy with it and I'm really looking forward to it lasting me hopefully a decade and getting better over time that's been it thanks for reading.
