The processor works with the new Radeon Pro Vega graphics cards, available in two flavors. This clock speed boost gives the iMac Pro the ability to take advantage of the multiple cores in tasks-like video rendering in Final Cut Pro-but also handle single core tasks at a fast pace. Turbo Boost allows the system to run at a higher level of performance for specific processor-intensive tasks, and the 10-Core system has the fastest Turbo Boost clock speed.
The 10-Core is a sweet spot, as the 3.0GHz Intel Xeon W chip has a Turbo Boost up to 4.5GHz. Our test model (and the one that Apple feels will best meet the needs of most pro videographers and photographers) is the 10-Core system, though the iMac Pro is available in configurations from 8-Core to 18-Core. This power is made possible by the collaborative horsepower of some new and updated internal systems. As our demo moved from a 27” iMac rendering 4K video to the iMac Pro, my jaw dropped as we edited 8K footage-real 8K footage, not proxy media-in real time without the need for the footage to render. Both in those original demos and in our own testing, I’ve been able to chew through Final Cut Pro, Photoshop, Premiere and other projects with speed that makes my personal 2016 MacBook Pro look downright pokey by comparison. The look of the iMac Pro belies the performance, in fact when I first saw the iMac Pro demoed at a Final Cut Pro briefing, I thought it would be fast, but not as fast as it ended up being.
For many users, this new iMac Pro will be the go-to system for photo and video editing, thanks to a level of performance that can handle any task thrown at it. The second announcement was the iMac Pro, a souped-up iMac that shares the same form factor of the existing iMac, but with internal components powerful enough to knock the 2013 Mac Pro-as well as most other computers-off their feet. Tech bloggers everywhere began to proclaim that pro support at Apple was dead.Īpple combatted this notion with a one-two punch of product announcements, the first being the ground-up redesign of the Mac Pro, to be available “in 2018” and featuring the best technology available. USB-C, Thunderbolt 3, and faster processors could be had elsewhere. The company had last updated their high-end system in 2013, and some of the company’s (and the competitor’s) other products were starting to arrive with features not found on the now-aging desktop.
Best imac for photographers 2016 update#
By the start of 2017, professional photographers and videographers were starting to get desperate, waiting for Apple to update their flagship computer, the Mac Pro.
