The new Macintosh machine is a very controversial beast. This is a very high specced machine for movie makers and other content creators. The GPUs use proprietary pci connectors to power them directly from the motherboard. This is actually a very good idea. I wish they could invent room temperature superconductors, then the machine could be even more expensive. The only problem with this machine apparently, is the overheating of the device due to the components generating so much heat. The aluminum case might get very hot. In the demo at a computer show, they used a 2 kilowatt cooler to manage heat in the machine. Maybe they need to add fans to reduce the heat, this is what other sensible machines do. The Cray supercomputer was liquid cooled, Apple could use this to cool the computer right down. Some exotic material circulating through the machine and pulling out heat. Maybe use element 115 and charge 150,000 dollars for it. With a super high res screen as well. The computer supports up to 2 terabytes of RAM. This is amazing to think of these days. The first computer I used was a TRS-80, it supported up to 48 Kilobytes of RAM. Now we have a veritable supercomputer that can use 2 Terabytes.
The starting price is US$5,999, and can go up to US$35,000 for the pro version. This is amazing, a 35,000 dollar computer. Now we need a gaming Youtuber to build a comparable computer with Windows 10 and hardware, with a cheaper price. I would love to link a video like that. I am challenging someone to make a better computer with Windows or actually, Linux for a free Operating System, and better hardware, while getting a better price. This machine is using an Intel Xeon CPU with 28 cores. With hyperthreading, that is 56 cores. That is a very expensive CPU. Scorptec in Australia have a 14 core Intel Xeon E5 2680 v4 CPU for only AU$2,549.00. So that is not bad. But the massive 28-core, 255W Intel Xeon W-3175X, a rare CPU gem that costs at least $3,000, it is very rare though. But starting at US$3,000 for a CPU, and building on that, I do not see how a machine could cost US$35,000, unless it has certain hardware. The PSU uses a proprietary cable, and I am sure that the monitor cable is too. The machine has so many holes in it, it looks like a cheese grater, maybe that could be good use for it.
