Why did Apple decide to discontinue the Mac Pro instead of upgrading it with those ultra chips and crazy water cooling?I mean, you see all these videos of peop overclocking the MacBook Neo with external cooling, so just think about how awesome it would be if the ULTRA chip had a massive 400mm water cooling block?
It's been replaced by the mac studioDoes the mac studio need extra cooling? ARM is pretty efficient Water cooling is overkill and a meme even for most x86 CPUs
>>108519919Apple has only ever used water cooling once, and that was the Power Mac G5 (Dual 2.5 GHz model) in 2004.
>>108519940flippy bippymove to the Studio, OP.
>>108519940Well, the mac studio cooler is small piece of shit.I doubt it can sustain cooling on ultra chips.36 CPU cores and up to 80 GPU cores, large water block would be much nicer with that power.All those ultra chips run throttled in studio.
How much as these cheese graters going for second hand?
>>108519940It is not a meme. Those radiators with like 20 copper pipes are a meme.Yes, air is cheaper and does the job, but if you want the humming to be even, you use water. Nothing more to it, air cannot compete in that area.
>>108519919The Mac Pro had a lot of PCIe ports but sadly couldn't even use discrete GPUs which I'd reckon probably defeated the purpose for the majority of customers. Now that the Mac Studio is the prime Mac workstation, they're replacing the Mac Pro's PCIe expansion functions with Thunderbolt 5.
>>108519984bro imagine installing Linux on one
>>108519994Considering that Asahi Linux relies almost entirely on reverse engineering and they haven't even gotten to native M5 support yet, I can imagine it would probably be a very buggy experience.
>>108519994If you want linux, the ai max ryzen pc's are much better option.
>>108519994Does Wine even work on ARM Linux?
>>108519994You're probably better off going with a Framework Desktop which was designed to be compatible with Linux.
>>108520109Framework really fucked up with the design.Imagine Steam cube design, but it has noctua DH 15 cooler or like something that size.
>>108519919>Why did Apple decide to discontinue the Mac Pro they burnt their creative pros with the trashcan.the pros went to hackintosh, linux or windows instead.the 2019 model was a brief apology.the slots on the m2 mac pro were only useful for capture cards or raid cards.it was too late to rename the mac studio the mac pro.>upgrading it with those ultra chips?the chip intended for the mac pro was two m2 ultras joined together, like how the ultra is two m2 maxes joined together. they couldn't do it.
>>108520330>the pros went to hackintoshNot stable enough for actual professional work.
>>108520358there was a rackmount version of the 2019 mac pro because apple caught video pros running server farms of hackintoshes.
>>108519919the mac studio chassis serves the ultra well, and apple doesn't appear to be interested in making bigger, hotter chips at the moment
>>108519980Water cooling is air cooling with extra steps - so you may as well just use air cooling.Heatpipes are more efficient and don't leak/break with time.
