Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
Unfortunately the 2019 Mac Pro always has a huge target on its head because of its high price and perceived cost to performance, being challenged by literally every Apple Silicon newcomer as it’s demise.
Even the YouTuber MKBHD today said that he’s switching to the mac studio, which is interesting for a number of reasons.
first, he and I both use R3D Raw.
My Mac Pro has the w6800x duo, and it’s 60% faster than my Mac Studio Ultra, which is maxed out Spec wise save for a 2tb ssd.
it’s not even remotely close, on test after test. I feel like there’s so much misinformation out there that it’s really frustrating as people think the new Apple products can do absolutely everything, which they cannot.
The biggest part of this misinformation comes down to the mac studio having hardware accelerators with ProRes and H265. it will handedly will beat any conventional computer such as the Mac Pro.
but not everyone uses specifically those types of workflows, and many professionals do in fact use r3d raw and other GPU heavy workflows that are still very far away from being matched.
sure the next Mac Pro will either be or match the current one, but we’re definitely not there yet by a significant margin, in fact 60% faster still for my workflow.
I have no horse in this race, I own both and both are fantastic for their own specific use cases. I just happen to have a special affinity with the Macpro that goes back nearly 20 years to the power macs, so I feel the duty to speak up! 😂
