I am currently building a recording studio, and I am a Logic Pro user. However, I am about to make the switch up to a Mac Pro. I have been very happy with this product and it has made me a Mac user for life. I feel confident that the machine I'm going to order will satisfy my needs!Ĭurrently enjoying FiveD, Lightroom and Photoshop CS4. Well, for this past 5 years or so, I have been through two White Macbooks. (another one that I'm not going to get, because the 2.8GHz version is said to be enough) (the one I'm not going to get, because I don't want to spend the cash) (the one I tested in the mac store, along with my FW800 drive and RAW images) Mac Pro (?) intel xeon 5150 2.66 GHz (4 cores) (the one I'm going to order now, 12GB RAM] Mac Pro (mid 2010) intel xeon W3530 2.8 GHz (4cores) (the one I seriously considered getting about 3 days ago) Mac Mini (early 2010) intel core 2 duo P8600 2.4 GHz on a H11SSL-NC and Epyc 7351P running ESXi 6 2 x AMD EPYC 72F3 8-Core CPU 3 Before. (my other machine, slower because only 3GB RAM) vMSC was EOLed in late 2015 The treatment may be longer or shorter. Macbook pro (late 2006) intel core 2 T7600 2.33 GHz (this one I now use for Lightroom and photoshop work, 4GB RAM) Macbook (late 2008) Intel core 2 duo P7350 2.0 GHz Here are the machines that are relevant for me, and their score: This webpage benchmarks the performance of a bunch of Mac configurations, including your proposed build: And of course is all related to the files size you normally work with. You will see improvement on performance after increasing RAM, only if you had very little ram like 2 or 4 gb and you go to 6 or 8gb. So the older Mac Pros from 2008 have 2 2.8ghz Quad Core Intel Xeon processors, without hyperthreading, for a total of 8 cores, and the top of the line iMac has a Quar Core i7 2,8ghz with hyperthreading for a total of 8 (virtual) cores. From the review's test benchmarks, there is not much speed difference between a Quad Core and an 8-Core as far as graphics is concerned.
As far as I know, Adobe softwares still only utilizes 2 cores at the most. On the other hand increasing CPU speed or core or doubling the CPU will do it proportionally. It reviewed the 2009 2.93 8-Core Nehalem MacPro with 12 gigs ram. Increasing ram size, from 8 to 16gb for example, will not give you any performance increase on most of the PS filters, Raw conversions, RAW previews. I red some article in the past and doubling the cores is about 40% improvement per core.ĭoubling the CPU from a single is 100% improvement on most of the tasksġ00% figures I got, for the configuration I have suggested are based on benchmarks for MACs with those processors. Processor, : Two Intel Xeon Quad-Core 2.8GHz, 3.0GHz, or 3.2GHz. Adding memory seems to be a better investment particularly if you are doing large images. Have you seen anyone report such large speed improvements by doubling the number of cores? Everything that I have read says that more than four cores or so provides only modest improvements in speed.
