    1 AMD 5950x
    4 6900xt
    8 PCIE4 Samsung NVme Drives in RAID 0 for a theoretical speed of 70gbps
    1600w PSU

    wouldn't be faster than a Dual Xeon Pro but you could get a 64 core Threadripper and beat it in Multicore CPU perfomance

    here are some benchmarks of the $7000 Mac Pro vs a $2000 CPU you can build a $3200 Hackintosh with

    look the single AMD chips beats the 2 Intel chips while using far less power
    the Mac Pro isn't that great until Apple can get their own Chip in it

    anything Intel in 2020-21 is outdated Tech at this point

    when the mac pro gets the m1 on steroids with proper cooling

    and you can't do that on ur gaming rig? P.S the a lot of best windows laptops at the same price points only have thunderbolt 3 ports too so, get used to it

    Apple has been and probably will only be good for security, smoother/easier operating system, and the fact that all products sync together flawlessly for me

    theyre not even better for security anymore... mac's have had more known vulnerabilities than windows machines in the past couple years

    Unix based anything is better than s*** Windows.

    Can’t do s*** in that trash command line. Programming in general is just so much better on Mac.

    Windows has terrible security.. nothing is containerized so apps can easily steal your data and send it god knows where. Also it's a mess, after long enough a Windows install becomes unusable. The way the whole OS works is so outdated. Unix based Operating System are so much more reliable and almost always offer better long term performance.

    its so ass. ive never had so many issues updating my machine as I did with windows. I can use a 2012 mac and update it to the latest OS no questions asked....

    Idk about that man, backdating a mac to an old OS is pretty atrocious. Additionally finding an older version of a program for an old OS I have also found to be pretty difficult.

    The m1 chip makes this post obsolete. Macs are significantly faster computers than their cost-equivalent PC counterpart at this point, especially at the Mac Mini / MacBook Air price points

    i dont know how people overpay for imac and any apple product

    microsoft is 50% cheaper for the same s***

    It used to not be that way. Apple wasn't always the standard. They're great at designing aesthetically pleasing products and marketing them.

    With that said, Apple products are satisfying to use and definitely have a great deal of quality to them. What I despise, though, is how Apple seems to introduce certain features that complicate things and are rather gimmicky. I have a 2016 MacBook Pro.

    I'm not so fond of the Touchbar because it's actually not all that useful; I prefer actual buttons to control volume, brightness, and keyboard lighting.

    The butterfly keyboard mechanism was a total failure. Four keycaps have fallen off, and it's a pain trying to replace and repair. I gave up and got myself a Bluetooth mechanical keyboard to use with it instead. For now, my MacBook Pro acts as a desktop computer held by a laptop stand as I use a separate mouse and a separate keyboard instead. I'm glad they got rid of the butterfly keys for the newer MacBooks, but it's too bad I'm stuck with this problem.

    i will never use any apple product
