The Pro’s many ports and jacks have all been confined to the rear of the device, on the one panel not covered by the glossy case. The Mac Pro’s insides are beautiful, its outsides almost ominous

What follows is a mix of their thoughts and mine, as we hooked up a Mac Pro and decided to find out what the future of professional computing looks like.

Our director / editor John Lagomarsino and Regina Dellea, our post-production coordinator, have both spent many hours with the new PC over the last several days. The Verge Video team has been waiting for a new Mac Pro too, with a long list of hopes and wishes for the new model. Luckily for us at The Verge, there’s a whole crew of those people right in our office. A lot of those bets have to do with 4K and the future of video, because that’s who this machine is for: people who make videos for a living. With a starting price of $2,999, it’s the beginning of a new era for Apple, a careful bet on what professional users will want and need in the years to come. Now, just in time for Christmas, Apple has released a new Mac Pro with new hardware and a radically redesigned body. Hope that even as it had overhauled Final Cut to the dismay of so many of its most dedicated users, Apple still cared. Hope for the first truly rethought version of the Mac Pro since it was introduced in 2006.

Apple’s combination of software and hardware – when paired with the right 4K display – offers speed and flexibility in a package we’ve never seen before.“We’re working on something really great for later next year.”Īfter years of seemingly neglecting Apple’s most hardcore, highest-paying users, a 2012 email from Tim Cook finally gave people hope. Let’s get the easiest conclusion out of the way first: if you’re a Final Cut Pro user, and you can afford it, the new Mac Pro is the best workstation on which to use it. With delivery estimates for the new Mac Pro already extending into February 2014, by the time multimedia mavens start receiving their hardware the developers will have a fair amount of time to bring their apps up to speed. Even with a single FirePro and an eight-core processor it’ll certainly be a decent showing nonetheless, but it’ll take third-party developers coding to support the Mac Pro’s hardware to really unlock the potential. That will mean that, for the moment at least, those who do their video editing in something like Adobe Premiere simply won’t see the benefits the Mac Pro brings. On the flip side, without that optimization, GPU-centric applications won’t deliver their best since they’ll only take advantage of one of the FirePro cards. It takes a little while before you realize what you’re suddenly able to do, with that sort of flexibility, but once you’re familiar with it – like, perhaps, the surfeit of horsepower behind the gas pedal of a Stingray – it’s hard to imagine working without it.

Trying out a filter (or ten) or changing video speed no longer comes with a performance penalty: you’re free to simply give it a look and then change back if it doesn’t work out. It’s testament to Apple’s combination of finessed software and AMD’s capable FirePro graphics cards, and it makes a legitimate difference to the experience of video editing. SunSpider, the test of browser Javascript performance, completed in 108.0ms (where faster is better). In Xbench, the Mac Pro scored 330.76 in the processor category, while in Cinebench’s CPU testing it scored a huge 1,160cb. In comparison, the top-spec 2013 iMac with a 3.5GHz quadcore Core i7 came in at 15,129. The 8-core Xeon E5 is another strong hitter, scoring an impressive 25,312 in Geekbench 3, the synthetic test of processor and memory performance. That’s around 300 MB/s more than the MacBook delivered in each category, and an even bigger step up compared to 2013’s 27-inch iMac refresh. Apple rates the Mac Pro at up to 1.2 GB/s sequential reads and up to 1 GB/s sequential writes, and in our tests with Blackmagic’s Disk Speed tool, we saw a hugely impressive 935.3 MB/s reads and 965.3 MB/s writes. In fact, the Mac Pro features the fastest PCIe storage Apple has used to-date, comfortably out-performing the previous champion, the late-2013 refresh of the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display.
