Of course a modern PC is faster… The mac pro chips are multiple generations old.Īn imac pro vs a modern 8 core PC is the correct cross test… Not a mac pro. I recommended the 8 core because that’s the one i recommend. if you want the 4 core you have to get a second hand one. Why do you say a modern PC is faster? Don’t understand that claim either.Īnything to back your claim other than a very hard to read “table” you posted? You asked which mac pro to buy, the 4 or 6 core. Anything to back your claim of the 8 core? Not sure I understand many things you have said here. No hum or vibration.Īnyway, that’s my recommendation, if the budget will allow. I’ve used my friend’s 8 core, and even though i know modern PC’s are way faster, if i stay with mac, I am getting one before the new ones come out… why? I like to stick with what i know works, instead of always being cutting edge. The 8 cores has a lot more cache… it does make a difference… and it’s not just more cache cause 2 more cores, it’s actually more cache per core, it’s 25mb for 8 cores vs 12 for 6. I can tell you that both spend more time around 3.7 ish than 3, or 3.5
The 8 core’s turbo is identical to the 6 core’s. Even though 4 years and 2 months old, i still love those machines cause they are silent and have 6 thunderbolt 2 ports for tons of bus powered silent SSD’s. It’s the absolute sweet spot of the entire line up. I can tell you now, if you can spring for it, the 8 core is the one to get. They upgraded the speed of the onboard SSD, gave each model the next version up graphic card, and ditched the quad core. The trashcan had a silent speed bump so to speak in 2015 i think it was. Or I may just record everything with Cubase and then Mix with Logic.
Darn…if anything I would probably be switching back to Logic X as I’m pretty sure that takes advantage of multiple cores better and I already own it. My latest thoughts were to get an 8 core because of this chart: Interesting…ok thanks for the heads up on that! Something to keep in mind! For Cubase, a higher clock speed seems to be more important. When I tested PT after upgrading from the 4-core to the 12-core, the difference was very noticeable…just not so on Cubase. However, Pro Tools was able to harness the power of the 12-core in a major way. There is some improvement for sure, but it wasn’t what I had hoped it would be. The 6-core seems to perform close to as well as the 12-core with Cubase, and neither were TOO much of an improvement over the 4-core, for me.
#MAC PRO 4 CORE HOW TO#
Let me warn you: I upgraded my 4-core to a 12-core (can’t remember where, but there are specific videos online that show you how to do it), and there was not a majorly significant increase in power with Cubase, so I sold it and got a 6-core.
