I have a lovely (old) 5,1 Mac Pro that is nearing the end :(
So.. I’m looking at what’s next. I’m looking to run fairly large orchestral templates and expect to be running around 128gb ram at least.
The 7,1 new (2019) Mac Pro would work (but is ££££) whilst the iMac is ££. But .. would the 2020 iMac i9 be good enough?
I’m told that single cores performance is the thing I need to be thinking (Logic x) and iMac is better than Mac Pro .. but is that right? I track live guitars quite a lot (being a guitarist)., but what’s the truth if it? It seems like one person says iMac is actually better whilst another says ‘duh it’s the Mac Pro!’ Really I’m seeking some clarification from you kind folks! (* I recognise this is an oft discussed thang and I have looked at previous threads but I’d love the very latest thoughts if possible). Many thanks to those kind types who might give up a few moments to help out.
