Hey max I have an important question
Will you really sell the Mac Pro and what is the price and do you ship it world wide
And what are the specs
I have 2017 iMacPro with 32gigs of ram and vega64 and 2019 mbp 16”. I do quick edits cause I have me two small kids on my lap almost all the time. Would this be a worthwhile jump to sell the iMac Pro for this 5k iMac?
JDLMediaCo even though I am not the one being asked but I think that you should wait for the redesigned iMac with Apple Silicon because it will be much faster and smaller or you can buy a 13” MacBook pro with Apple Silicon
But if you’re in hurry consider the 5k 2020 iMac because it is amazing and has great value
JDLMediaCo what are your 16 mbp specs
I will never understand how this page does not have ateast a million subs. Max and Vadim provide so much, easy-to-understand knowledge that really helps finding out what specs to purchase for each kind of creative.
Im a video editor and I was dreading going through the whole process of figuring out which computer to upgrade to again. It's so complicated and there are so many conflicting opinions. I takes so much time and effort. I thought, "I wish someone could just tell me which computer to buy." And VOILA, I came across your video. Thanks so much for saving me a lot of frustration! 🙏🙏🙏😁
4 months from now ~ Why I'm switching to the new AS iMac
4 months later ~ Why I'm switching to the new AS Mac Mini
4 months later ~ Why I'm switching to the new AS mbp
4 months later ~ Why I'm switching to the new AS Mac Pro
Thanks for the great video as always - but careful chasing the tail!
We're always chasing the tail lol
haha. I was about to say the same thing! haha
Get what you need thats it
Neil Mo Apples new ARM processors are at least 2 years away! And let’s face it - If you don’t like change, get out of the technology industry!
Don't forget that we make a living working with and on the latest machines and resale of Macs is really good. In some cases its most cost effective to upgrade every year instead of waiting for 5 years for value to drop a ton. Add in being able to make money covering these new machines where you wouldn't if you have older ones and it makes a ton of sense.
Hey Max
Looks like the thing you said in your first video 11 years ago has come true
Looking at your happy audience
You have helped people by making the right decisions
Well done
One of the most honest reviewer here on youtube.
Don’t buy your gear without his approval! ;)
Looking forward to the max CPU possible overheating performance.
iMac CPU’s don’t usually overheat, they will throttle but they will never overheat
@@TheMachiniste Say that to my 2009 iMac which literally burnt a black mark onto the screen via the CPU.
Robbeedeebee first, that wouldn’t be possible as the cpu in the iMac 2009 does not face the screen. Second, I’ve seen windows pc’s from 2009 catch on fire and destroy their psu
Very helpful info. Looking to upgrade my i5 / 8 gig ram to run Resolve. About 10 source clips and one timeline is all it can handle. It won't play in real time and even the jog wheel is jumpy.
They should sell a Mac Pro "Mini" with these internals. Would be an awesome desktop.
Then they should make an iPod Mini Pro
Thermals don't work like this...
The most concise practical video I've seen so far. Only the important issues. No fluff.
I bought the 2020 iMac with 8gigs of ram, 4TB hard drive, the Radeon 5700XT, and the 8 core processor for Windows gaming. Bought 64gb of 3rd party ram and upgraded that myself as soon as I pulled out the Mac from the box. So I use 2TB for Mac and 2TB for Windows which is why I got the 4TB SSD. Oh I also got the 10gig ethernet as well. Didn't get the fancy display coating because I feel that display could get damaged to easily. I can now play most games on the high graphics or ultra graphics settings, it's amazing. Would have waited for an M1 but no Windows compatibility so that's why I got this Mac. I don't really have the space to have a Mac and a PC box separately and would cost more as well.
I'm just about to upgrade my Macbook Pro and if this can handle A7SIII and R5 footage I'm totally in. Looking forward to the testing before I pull the trigger.
I am in the market for upgrading my Mac this year, and this came in the perfect timing! Thanks man!
Literally everything I’ve been asking for!!!!!
Really helpful video, thank you!
Okay dang it. Now I want one.
As I just ordered this yesterday, thank you Max for re affirming my decision. Gem of a review, and gem of a computer!! 🙏
Thanks for always being fast and efficient! Your video helps always! Looking forward for the 8core vs 10core comparison before pulling the trigger!
Thanks for this video. I was about to buy a Mac Pro for my audio and video production work and the Apple Silicon announcement hit. I hesitated to figure out what I need and when to buy and read everything I could and watched videos. Yours was the first I found to fully explain the real functionality of these new chipsets and GPUs and it was exactly what I needed to know. 10 Core on order!
hey I have a 12core Mac Pro with w5700 I would love to know how my Mac can Handle the canon R5 Footage you should have some r5 footage to download so I could check it out. Also is there a video card on the Mac that can handle the footage? I'm debating over the Sony or the Canon but I think I may get the Sony I have 2 a6500's
@Gesskay ! yeah that makes sense plus I have Sony glass already I think I'll get the atmos ninja so I can record straight to Prores can get a afterburner card later on cause I will need 2 cameras for recording my live shows th-cam.com/video/YTRzr58qFy8/w-d-xo.html
Thomas Piper get a ninja V! Then you can do 16bit raw which has more color depth than the best case in the eosr5. Everyone is so distracted by the 8k, that they fail to realize the siii has more dynamic range and more color depth when recording externally!
@@RiceCubeTech Yeah man I think this is they way to go. I'm going to order and see how it holds up when the camera comes in Sept. I'll keep researching too
Thomas Piper for sure, my siii pre order is in, but I was going to buy it regardless of the r5, as I already am keeping my A7iii and all the glass I have. But even excluding those facts the siii is the more solid buy anyways
Here you go for R5: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1yuhGhS_ZeF40ndU4wZpZGt26dro4dIwo?usp=sharing Clog is 10 bit HEVC 4:2:2. Contrasty footage is h.264 8 bit 4:2:0 which is easy to edit.
I’m tryna start editing my own videos but my computer lags
Sorry but does the best imac with the 16gb graphic of this 2020 and 10 cores support real time canon R5 editing? This is important to know. Could you make a video of this test? Thanks
I want to know the same thing. He makes some comments eluding to that. He also states that the T2 chip is going to somehow help, but the 16” MacBook Pro has a T2 chip, and it can’t handle the raw footage without major lag.
And also final cut pro has been updated today with more canon raw capabilities so ¿maybe even the macbook pro 16 can edit that now? We need that video with this new final cut features and top of the line imac info. Thanks guys!!!! Love
I cant believe how you are still under 1M subs.
i didn't know anything about all the hardware encoding stuff with navi rtx5000 series, it's so good review, thanx Max !!
Thanks got a new subscriber . Looking forward for the max cpu performance
Suddenly in 2020 there are so many gadgets to invest into 😍
There was a Japanese channel that tested the 2020 iMac with different brands of ram. For some reason when you mix different brands the system could not detect all the ram. So if you plan to max out your 2020 iMac’s RAM in the future, it seems prudent to stick to only one brand of ram. Oddly enough this was never an issue with the 2019 5k iMac which I currently own.
Apple is still owing people a form factor update too, 21.5" is kind of unacceptable nowadays, it should be at least in the 23"-24" for the smaller model and possibly add a 32" model to match the XDR display.
I've seen some people saying that it will only happen when the iMac gets the Apple Silicon, but I don't think Apple can already match the higher-end Intel CPU with their Apple Silicon yet and I don't think it's reasonable to wait 2 years for a new form factor, it's already overdue.
And unless you really need to upgrade now, RDNA2 is right around the corner, sure, Apple won't upgrade to RX6000 so soon, but I would suggest waiting for it because it will be well worth the wait. I know Apple will charge quite a lot but the top end GPU will basically double the RX5700XT performance - or maybe Apple will reserve that one for the iMac Pro.
Right? Even if they slummed the bezels and kept the same form factor, they could get like an extra 2-3 inches easy!
RiceCube Tech they don’t make the displays is the issue
Saivion Brown oof well they could easily commission different ones. Nobody else uses the 5k panels. Apple isn’t a helpless victim lol
21,5 or 27 ?
I took some 4k HEVC 4:2:2 log footage from the EOS R5 into an Apple store today and airdropped it to the 2020 iMac. It couldn't play it in real time any better than the 2019 16" MacBookPro that I have. I suspect that even though the 10th gen intel CPU has hardware decoding, the software attempts to playback using GPU acceleration. Tried Quicktime and Final Cut Pro X while I was there. The good news is that you can still render out the timeline and edit it smoothly like any Mac of the last 5 years, which is a point that is always conveniently neglected by those who love drama.
All the details and specifications are on point. Cool! :)
@MaxYuryev Can you please include a Logic Pro X/ fan noise test if possible? thank you .
With all the BS going down with the temp virus on the R5 and R6, coupled with the nosebleed finance one needs to run adequate tech in 2020, I'm soo sticking with my 70D and mid 2012 MBP, heck I might even chuck it all in and be an exotic dancer.
Lmao
I almost pulled the trigger on a Mac Pro. So glad that I didn't! I'm ordering this!
Theres a lot more that goes into this. Check out my long term Mac Pro review: th-cam.com/video/yHtL4hrihlg/w-d-xo.html
Bought a new iMac because of this video. Thank you!
Thank you for your research! Looking forward to your next video. Was thinking pc but this video open the door to Mac for me.
This is really great news for Mac editors. I personally won’t return to Mac and will be sticking with custom PC builds, but I’m happy to see Apple correct some major flaws in their models. Now if only they would stop their feud with Nvidia and open up that option for MacOS!
Mine comes Friday can’t wait saved money on the ram upgrade
Affordable future proof iMac finaly here under $4,000. This is it!
An iMac will never be future proof. Like never. Lack of upgrade path gimps it within 2 years.
Nothing about this will make it better relative in 2022 than the old iMac 2018 would have performed relative to today’s tech. These all in ones are a terrible value when you realize a Mac Pro or a custom pc, is fully modular and you won’t need to buy a whole new computer the moment a new standard resolution, or video codec is introduced
RiceCube Tech You definitely right from high tech user perspective like yourself. But for normal users, musicians, content creator, programmers, this machine is the beast. I still use my 2013 iMac i5 with 1Gb video, fashion hard drive and 24GB memory. I’ll get rid of it and order this 2020 tonight. Integrated beautiful screen as always, 10th Gens i7 processor, 16GB VRAM, 128 GB memories, 2TB SSD will make me smile for another 10 years and more. I think this is definitely future proof.
@@RiceCubeTech Not at all.
Itsthe Truth 10 years? No. Especially when Apple will inevitably switch to a new chipset architecture and drop support for older devices. People said the computers in the 90s will be future proof, but after the tech boom in the year 2000, all older computers will essentially rendered useless when new standards came out. We saw computers going from KB of Ram to gigabytes within a couple years. I never buy gear, thinking it’s going to last more than 5 years. But to each their own I guess
Thank you for this Max. Super valuable info! Looking forward to that CPU comparison video.
So you recommend the less expensive 8 core processor instead of the 10 core?
I was about to pull the trigger on an 18 core iMac Pro but I'm thinking about getting 2 of these instead. 1 for me and 1 for a 2nd editor. Thanks for the video!
What do you edit?
@@MaksimYuryev 1dxii, Zenmuse X7, and Mavic 2 Pro. I guess I was really just trying to think about future proofing for when I move to 8k and 12k editing. Still a couple of years out from that move though.
kyle newsom what spec did you get or would u recommend to edit that footage ?
Great video Max!! Super helpful imo. Curious to hear about the new iMacs
I really wish Apple would make a Mac - not an iMac, not a Pro, not a Mini - just a Mac. The internals of an iMac without the screen in a mid-size box. I would be all over that....
Agreed!
Been saying this since the 2013 Mac Pro came out... Make a MAC inside of that trashcan housing (it was fuckiing awesome) and I'll be happy to get a couple
That would be great, not happening though, that would be no bullshit approach, which Apple can’t handle.
I would love that as well! Even more with the new ARM chips. A 'mini' Mac Pro. That's the sole reason I built a Hackintosh.
I have stated for years that Apple users would benefit from a generic ATX Mac Basic Computer but Apple only cares about Apple. The 2019 Mac Pro was created for the Apple corporation not professionals.
Serious piece of kit, excellent value for money!
Just used your link to upgrade my RAM... THANK YOU 🙏🏻
Hey Max. I need help. I just bought both the GoPro Hero 8 and the Hero Max. They will be all I am using for now and I am new to the video editing game and also want to start a podcast. I have the iPad Pro but you cannot edit anything with that. Again, new to all this and will invest in some classes to learn more. What do you recommend I go with? iMac 27 and what specs or MacBook Pro and which one? I will more than likely buy based on your suggestion
That 10-core processor is interesting but will probably have huge thermal issues as it does not have the much better cooling system of the iMac Pro made specifically for powerful processors with more cores (up to 18-core) generating massive heat.
As that regular iMac still have consumer grade components, I personally wouldn’t buy it for professional work on a daily basis.
Can’t wait to see what the upcoming iMac Pro will get, much more exciting!
The 8 core processor is the best single core performance you can get in a Mac outside of a Hackintosh. I don't know if your workflow is heavily multithreaded, but the iMac is going to be my new development machine. Very excited!
I also read last night that it scored 7500 for 3DMark when the 5700XT usually gets around 9000, probably because the internal cooling hasn't been updated to match the iMac Pro...
We've been pushing our previous 5K iMac for a few years now at least 5 days a week. Its still going strong!
Finally it’s time for me to buy a used iMac
Yes please I would enjoy watching your review testing video of the two 8-2020 iMac spec versions you are ordering.
I don't know. None of our PC's or Mac's seem to have much luck with the R5's 4K or 8K video, which have no issues whatsoever with 4K, 6K and 8K blackmagic, ARRI or other video content. We have some serious Mac and PC hardware, but nothing seems to work well with the new Canon R5's video in either 4k or 8K. We have tried it on our 2020 iMac 10-core, with Radeon Pro 5700 XT with 16GB of VRAM and 64GB RAM, and our fairly decked out ($29K) 24 core 2020 Mac Pro, with 192GB RAM, dual Radeon Pro Vega II Duo's each w/2x32GB of HBM2 memory. It does a little better on our Dual NVideo 2080Ti based PC with 128GB RAM and 16 Core 9's.
It seems to be a substantially CPU limited problem, as none of our GPU systems on any of the machines get pushed very hard on Resolve, Premiere or Final Cut. Just a wacky set of design choices on the R5 in terms of video CODEC's, and overall design limitations/flaws.
Ours went back today, after wasting a week with it, and finding that any video work will start the R5 to time limit even the stills that come later. I'm sure that they just don't want it to compete with their CX00 line of video cameras, but that kind of sucks for us consumers.
i see you linked two imacs at different price points. are they the same or did i miss something?
Watching back this one ...the current M1 probably is just like a entry level
Thing ..but the "M1X" didnt have any clues for the release date...so...i am thinking to buy 2020 model now...and watched your video....
I'm sorry to let you down but the used Comet Lake CPUs in the new iMac do not have Gen 11 Graphics like the Ice Lake Notebook CPUs in the MacBook Pro 13".
So they do not have the promised 422 decoding. There is no desktop CPU that uses it right now.
Thx Max, another great video, I look forward to the comparison between the 8 core and 10 core processors. I might finally buy an iMac as I believe this will suit my needs.
Same. From what I read and I did plenty research, the 8 core is better oddly and Adobe prefers 8 core (from the site). That’s what I use, gonna take the plunge
Thanks so much for all your very informative, well put together, and helpful videos. You seriously do a good job at guiding us to make a decision about our purchases. I used the link in this video to purchase... so hopefully you get the some compensation ;)
Ok he shouts a bit....but I have a volume control!...What he does have is a great way of giving accurate facts fast and precise, a great find. Whenever I need info on tech he will be one of my first ports of call.
Pretty sure the Mac Pro's have the T2 chip. Also you could add an Atomos Ninja V screen to the Canon and record in 10bit 4:2:2 Prores that is easier to decode/encode especially with the afterburner card.
Will there be an increase in performance with a Mac Pro if you have to edit in 6k RAW compared to a maxed iMac? If so, how much? Will doing a proxy before editing help the iMac?
Thank you for another informative video. As an editor, I appreciate your work a ton. Looking forward to seeing how hot and loud the 10 core runs.
Do you recommend using x2 32Gb Ram sticks with the 8Gb base that is in the machine? Looking at ordering a new iMac and will used your amazon links to upgrade.
I don’t understand how you recommend using all 4 slots but give us a link to upgrade to 64gb ram and have a link to buying 2 x32gb cards... and your brand of cards change with the last few videos I’ve watched!... what up with that? I don’t know if you even know you are doing it... if you really wanna NOT confuse the people you are trying to help.... please address this for me at least... I’m not a whiz at all this... but I do pay attention to details... and I’ve asked 3 questions now with no replies...
Hey max so I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017) Quad-Core Intel Core i7
want to know performance on Premiere
Thank you for this info. MacPro/iMacPro are extremely expensive options on the Apple side. If you go the Windows/Hackintosh route, the i9 platform is pricey and doesn't offer much in the way of core-count (present or future), and even a modest AMD Threadripper w/add-in Thunderbolt 3 could set you back $4-5K. This has been the toughest time to upgrade since the early 2000s.
Sooooo.....will Apple Silicon support all the codecs out there?
If your Mac Pro has the After burner card then you would not have any issues. I have seen and used the Mac Pro with afterburner and it has not slowed with any footage, it’s also more upgradable.
Yes I do have the afterburner, but it only accelerations ProRes and ProRes RAW footage: th-cam.com/video/33ywFqY5o1E/w-d-xo.html
Another great video Max. I watched it twice. I know you probably don't care that much, but with your and Vadim's enthusiasm and mostly positive coverage of Macs, I wonder if Apple will ever be sending you guys review units. I noticed Apple sending units to even smaller channels than this and Max Tech. I don't know how you can get on their 'list', but as long as it doesn't artificially inflate your review (which I KNOW it will not) I would love to see you guys be able to be one of the first ones to review new Macs!
Thank you! I wonder when as well.. bummer that it’s taking so long..
I bought the 2019 one because at least here in Mexico they raised the prices so much, and the storage is so much expensive, i hope that apple bring them support for years after the transition to Apple silicon, if not i would have a great Windows PC 😅
it will be interesting to see how this new iMac handles R5 8k footage. I just edited and posted a small 8K project using a windows 10 PC and Adobe premiere Pro using an NVidia RTX 2080ti and a 16 core Intel Core i9-9960X CPU overclocked to 4.5 GHZ. It was all proxies and rendering the effects as I was editing. I shot in IPB but even the ALL-I is about the same to edit since it is also H.265. But even on a really high end PC Adobe struggles with footage from the R5. It's better with the RAW footage actually, but not enough to make proxies optional so the workflow is about the same regardless of how you shoot your 8K. Unless you shoot 8 bit, handling the H.265 8 bit 420 works fairly well but you give up CLOG and it's a big downgrade. Here is the project I edited in 8k shot with the R5 - th-cam.com/video/xipbHLaKt2U/w-d-xo.html
Idk how r5 footage can be so poorly optimized when the RED 8k footage can be edited full res in Adobe on a 2080 on a laptop. Adobe needs to update their software decoding and rendering process. Or canon needs to use a better codec
@@RiceCubeTech Canon uses an industry standard h.265. There is no "poor optimization" unless you believe that h.265 is bad. And have you worked with red footage? If red footage was so light to edit, why does Red sell and recommend buying their $1k+ red rocket cards? Learn before you speak.
Whic model is for me. I need a imac for school, web, youtube, gaming-hobby. THANKS!
Any idea when your new iMacs will be delivered?
Good morning ! which iMac i could use with 6k blackmagic camera including Atem Mini Pro ISO, if you can help me with the details, thanks
In Australia U can't seem to upgrade the graphics card only in the optional extra ...
Select not base model i7 has the option
How does a7s iii 10-bit 420 h265 look and edit on your current set ups? Is it that much better to shoot in 10-bit 422 vs 420?
The visual difference on equal grounds is not distinguishable between the two, but the bitrate that would go for 4:2:2, now goes to 4:2:0, so it's LIKE you are using more bitrate for it than you would normally. So overall, 4:2:0 is a better deal. And of course, it edits many times faster, since it goes to GPU for processing instead of the CPU. I will be personally buying the Sony A7S III, and using 4:2:0. If I had kept my R6 preorder (I canceled it now), I would be forced to use 8bit recording, which of course, it makes no sense to pay all that money for an 8bit camera (particularly since the R6 does no proxies either, neither it has a proper hdmi connector, nor a holder-in-place like the R5 does, to connect to an atomos). So, Sony it is. Even if I'm full of Canon glass from previous purchases.
h265 it's a pain
tested H265 4:2:0 6K from.the Panasonic S1H on my 16 core workstation and it barely runs without dropping frames when graded
@@dallatorretdu That's actually VERY good performance. The 4:2:0 variant runs on GPU, you see, which speeds up things immensely already. The 4:2:2 variant runs at 1-3 fps, even on a $15,000 computer.
@@EugeniaLoli I've just seen that the RTX2080TI supports H265 up to 12bit 4:4:4
dang... wonder if that will speed things up
@@dallatorretdu No, it does not. It only supports 4:2:0 and 4:4:4. The 4:2:2 variant is specifically NOT supported. It requires additional electronics to support different subsamplings, it's not a matter of software. The CPU will do all the work, which means abysmal performance.
So happy my old top of the line 27” iMac was upgraded to this! Should be here in 2 weeks! Got the i9 as well as the Radeon Pro 5700, decided to go with the 8 GB of RAM to save money as I ordered the 64 GB kit you posted
Did you get the nano screen?
D B So I have kind of an interesting case here, I had ordered the older 2019 iMac on July 30th without knowing this new one would be announced, then once it started processing it was put on hold and I was like wtf, turns out I was upgraded with the “equivalent” of my current order. So while I only have the standard glass, in my room reflections is not a problem so I wouldn’t have shelled out the $500 anyway. But I am very happy to get my new iMac soon, my old workhorse is a late-2012 21.5” 1 TB HD and these days a simple Premiere Pro project sometimes makes the iMac have a heart attack with just 4 GB of RAM lol..
Hope you enjoy it!
Max Yuryev Thanks I will! Love your channel keep up the great work! 🙌🏼
Thanks for that, very helpful for my impending upgrade.
thanks for the effort and the sharing. i am an appreciative subscriber. stay well.
MAN you really nailed it. You are great. i was going to get the mac pro , Now i will just buy the desk top! with everything you recommend. But how do i install the 64gb, Please help before i buy from link below. thanks stay safe
Why order 2? What r u thinking?
Looks good. Wonder how it will do with 12bit raw from the Sigma FP?
What about the bad cooling solution in the previous iMac. Is it fixed or not? Do they still have only one fan?
One fan still 🤕
@@0BAYAREA0 Thank you for your quick answer. The fan noise is a deal-breaker for me.
Waiting on your 8-core vs 10-core iMac follow-up before I pull trigger. Taking this thorough and perfect video into account, it looks like I might be better off getting the new iMac instead of the 10-core iMac Pro.
Wow! Your best value imac config is exactly the same as the one I came up with.
Would this handle 4k 120 (H.265/XAVC HS 4:2:2 10-Bit) on Premiere Pro???
I preordered an A7S3 and that’s all I really care about.
KikoFilms did you find out the answer?
@@KARLOSVOLTA Max just uploaded a video testing the imac with a7siii and R5 footage. I'm deciding to go ahead with a PC build instead of the imac because I'm just not convinced that the imac is the best for this specific recording mode on Premiere. Worst case scenario, I'll shoot in H.264 which is still 10bit 4.2.2. I'll be rocking a Ryzen 7 with Nvidia 2060 super in my upcoming $1400 pc build which should eat that footage up no problem.
great video!
Great video!! If I plan on doing light video editing but using it mainly for photo editing, which one would you pick to go alongside my base model 2019 16in MacBook Pro?
How much RAM do you think you’ll use for photo editing?
Thank you so much! This was super clear and helpful. It's easy to get lost in all the different specifications and pricing. Used your affiliate link as a thank you.
Are you buying the imac for display stream compression
Great videos Max! Dying for a video editing performance comparison between iMac Pro and new 2020 iMac 27”!
one doubt, do you recomend to buy 512gb storage and a external ssd? what about the speed trasnfer with an external ssd for editing 4k online? without ethernet
I need to buy a machine for video editing asap.. Was going to buy a Macbook Pro fully loaded but with them switching to ARM chips, I don't really want to invest the money into a machine that will be old tech in a year. Do you recommend buying this iMac instead? Is it going to be alot faster than a fully loaded Macbook Pro? Thanks for all the videos keep it up.
Yes I would get this instead of a MacBook Pro. It will be faster for video editing.
@@MaksimYuryev Thanks

Can I make video games with this Mac
Max, thank you for the video! I have one question: My iMac is 3 months old (8core i9, SSD, Vega Pro, 64GB RAM) Will I have issues with 4K60 or 8K30 (no C-LOG!) footage of the Canon EOS R5? Thanks in advance!
Max, would a PC build with same processor and video card be just as good, cheaper?
omg i have the 2160p option showing on my iPad on this very video. Thx Max for the great content !
What ipados do you have ?
Max Yuryev i think it's on 14 Public Beta 3
Great review. I wonder why you say the 10G ethernet was the reason you bought the Mac Pro when one can get a TB3->10G adapter for change. Is that not the case?
HAHAHA!!! LMAOOO best comment
I actually have a TB3 to 10GBe adapter that cost $200. Most of them have fans in them which spin up and are annoying (but could be custom fixed) and the connection is not as reliable as hardwired 10Gbe so it at times needs to be unplugged and plugged back in instead of working perfectly 24/7 and staying connected to our server. When looking into the differences between the 2019 iMac and 2017 iMac Pro and the cost difference plus the ability to buy a used base iMac Pro (which I did for $3500) it just made more sense to do so. My video comparison goes over all of this. The other downside is loosing one of the 2 TB3 ports on the iMac 5K and only being left with one. Now I'm going to sell the iMac Pro between $3000-$3500 before the resale drops and for about the same money get an overall better machine for vadim to edit on.
Freakin helpful, thanks, man. 🤙🏻
