    ℹ️ Discussion: the Early Intel Macs versus Late Intel Macs conversation lives anew and lives here

    [Mods: If you want to move this from Early Intel Macs over to Site & Forum Feedback, post a reply to this thread with, maybe, a few days’ advance notice. Cheers!] Confession time: For the last few months, I’ve been dropping in on other, model-specific forums to check whether there are any new...

    MP All Models a script for measuring CPU frequency in "normal" and "turbo boost" mode

    A little x-mas gift for you guys :) As there is no real way (I have knowledge of) to monitor the actual / turbo cpu frequency of the Xeons in classic Mac Pros I made two little scripts for displaying the actual cpu and turbo cpu frequency. (The Intel Power Gadget tool does not work on our Xeon...

    MacPro 5,1 - Some questions from a newbie

    I am getting a MacPro 5,1 12 Core 2.4 Xeon with 64GB of RAM. Good enough to last a lifetime, but I see that Big Sur will not officially run on it. Shame... is it worth it to go through the hassle or just install Linux? If Linux, which distros are you using? This machine I assume can run any of...

    iMac mid 2011 with Xeon, would target display work?

    Hello, I would like to upgrade an iMac 2011 27inch to a xeon processor (e3-1280). However, the iMac also serves as good monitor for a mac pro. From what I gathered online, xeon will work but it would loose sleep function. Does target display mode put the imac in sleep function? if so, would it...

    Hi guys, Quick question, I am a student that wants to buy a 5,1 Mac Pro and I noticed that the 2010's have the 5,1 identifier and so do the 2012 models. Looking at the market I can see that the 2010 dual CPU models(which is what I am looking for) are cheaper than the 2012 dual CPU models, is...

    MP 7,1 Thoughts - New AMD Epyc Server CPU's, benefit MP 7,1?

    AMD has been on a roll as of late with its new consumer/prosumer CPU's, but I didn't even see coming was a server CPU from AMD. From what I read and seen the new AMD Epyc server CPU out performs Intel's current Xeon's both in price and performance. It got me thinking, if AMD's Epyc server CPU's...

    iMac Pro in 2019/2020?

    Intel's roadmap for Xeon processors is continuously changing, albeit their last official position is to refresh the line every 4/5 quarters. It seems that Cooper Lake will arrive in Q4 2019/Q1 2020, while it seems that Ice Lake 10nm Xeons will have to wait till the end of 2020. The premise is...

    Will Dirt4 play on a cMP 12-Core Xeon X5680?

    I've spent some time searching the interweb with regards to whether Dirt4 will run on my cMP 12-core Xeon X5680. The specs say the game requires a 1.8Ghz Intel Core i5 processor or better. My cMP (4,1>5,1) is 12-core X5680 (check my sig for other specs), so this isn't an i-Series CPU. Are my...

    Macbook Pro with Xeon?

    Just curious to know why, if the Macbook Pro is the top laptop for most developers, Apple doesn't make one with a Xeon CPU? Wouldn't this be better for developers?

    Mac mini alternatives (macOS in VM on Apple and non-Apple hardware)

    I am thinking of upgrading my old macmini-2011, but apparently Apple is not on a hurry to offer their customers an updated Mac mini model, worth considering (6th/7th generation i7 4c/8t processor, up to 32GB user-upgradeable memory, Thunderbolt 3). Naturally, I still hope that this sad...

    [MacPro6,1] Is it possible to mix up two different GPUs?

    Hi, Is it possible to replace just one of the GPUs in the Mac Pro Late 2013? As for instance, having the original D300 in slot A (primary GPU) and the D700 in slot B (secondary GPU), or vice versa. If so, how does macOS deals with such a mixed solution? Thanks. Best, Giampiero
