  • cheese grater is back big time.

  • Hey, what's up, guys?

  • I'm to be Is she here?

  • Yes.

  • I brought in on a macro with me to the hotel room.

  • Yes, I'm out here at WWDC in California.

  • And yes, today, Apple did finally unveil a reveal the new design for the 2019 Mac Pro the cheese grater.

  • It's finally upon us.

  • We finally know what it looks like.

  • We finally know what it's made of.

  • We finally know what it costs.

  • Kinda.

  • We finally know what it's capable of.

  • So this video is all of those things in one place, plus some personal thoughts of mine.

  • Also, this shirt is a new one in the Empty Bhd shop.

  • I'll have a link below the like button.

  • If you want to check it out.

  • It is back.

  • Everything's on sale, including all the other stuff.

  • Shameless plug.

  • It's gonna be once every two months that we do these drops now.

  • So 1st 2 weeks of this month, we have this stuff on sale.

  • Get it if you want it.

  • All right, So the Mac pro, I'm gonna be honest.

  • It felt kind of like the Tesla 2020 Roadster announcement when they went through these specs because they're just absolutely ridiculous.

  • And it it ships this fall.

  • So it's coming out before the Roadster.

  • But let me just start with the specs.

  • So the CPU will be anywhere from eight core to a 28 core Intel's Aeon.

  • There are 12 dim slots for up to 1.5 terabytes of RAM.

  • I don't know if you got that.

  • I'm gonna just say that one more time just so you can digest it.

  • You can fill all 12 dims with 2900 megahertz memory for 1.5 terror bytes of Ram, and then it starts with one GPU, an MD radion pro 5 80 X, and can go all the way up to four and the radio on pro Vega to GP use, which is nuts.

  • No word on and video GPS.

  • It has eight PC ocelots, four full size and then 4/2 size, up to four terabytes of SST storage and a 1400 watt power supply.

  • So by the numbers on paper, of course, we can tell it's extremely high end, and then the name of the game really is headroom here, especially with that 1400 watt power supply.

  • So you're giving yourself room to grow into adding components to it down the road as you upgraded, you know, like a normal PC and it just putting down silly numbers, at least promising them anyway.

  • So Apple's website is covered in crazy, outrageous claims of performance over not just the Old Mac Pro but over the 18 core.

  • I'm at pro that I use now, which is already really fast.

  • So I drop the link to this, of course.

  • Believe it like Button also and then the design.

  • Of course, that's what people are talking about the most, and that's what we're kind of waiting to see.

  • And it's kind of fascinating in a bunch of ways.

  • Do you know what trip trip A phobia is with the holes.

  • I don't know about you, but this gets like awkwardly close to that.

  • Just gonna throw that out there.

  • But obviously, the main comparison is to a cheese grater, which is the same as that previous Mac prove that came before the trash can.

  • But I'll take the cheese grater over a trash can any day, so this new cheese grater is about the size of, I guess a normal mid sized tower is definitely not as big as the old cheese grater, but it's way bigger than the trashcan, thankfully, and it's all metal.

  • As you can see, those arcs across the top are handles, and there's 1/3 handle in the middle that you could twist and then pull the entire show off as demonstrated many times, both on their website and buy this sweet, augmented reality demo they were doing.

  • And that gets you full access to everything There is to Thunderball ports at the top, along with the power button at the top and led light.

  • And the back is just all your outputs from all those PC I slept.

  • So that includes the apple, one that's built in, which gives you the headphone jack to full size USB ports and two Thunderbolt.

  • So clearly there's a lot going on with the design of this tower.

  • But even on the inside, I think it's just it's interesting as the outside.

  • So is a bunch of modules that'll be included to fit into those many PC I slots, and there were Apple calls and P X modules.

  • So there's a graphics card and PX module, for example, that they're putting the GP use into, and that gives you thunderbolt.

  • HTM eye out and then third parties can also all chip in and make their own MPX modules, each one of which can take up to 500 watts of power.

  • So promise, for example, the company that makes that huge 96 terabytes raid array of hard drives on my desk.

  • They've promised to make a small MPC module that has a huge amount of hard drives in it for the inside of the Mac Pro.

  • So you can put these things inside the computer.

  • And there's another one Apple makes, called the Afterburner card, which is essentially just for video and coding and video editing processing So they can take a lot of the work of processing pro rez and pro rez raw off of your CPU, and we'll dedicate it onto that card by itself.

  • Which is amazing for people who use those Codex and is great for video editing.

  • So these modules are really powerful, and that is the kind of modularity people were asking for and waiting for for so long.

  • Having all those pieces of ice lots to add into.

  • There are three huge fans on the front, taken advantage of that cheese grater design and another blower in the back seat of constant airflow going through the whole thing.

  • But they've said it could be quite enough to be on your desk or next to you and not be a problem.

  • So, yeah, just It's pretty much a rebuild from the ground up, like we've wanted the price.

  • So the baseline for this Mac Pro is going to start at $6000.

  • Another thing to remember about pricing like actual pro grade equipment like the word pro, I think, is sort of overused, you know, one plus seven pro.

  • What does that really mean?

  • IPad Pro Am I a pro?

  • But really, for actual professional grade equipment, that stuff is very expensive, and it's clearly not for everyone.

  • This new Mac pro is, of course, a creative tool, but no amount of money you spend on a creative tool will make you better at creating.

  • I think we all know this, but it will help with things like quality control and, of course, making things faster, which is what professionals pay a lot of money for it.

  • Actually, that brings us conveniently to the one accessory, the one other piece of hardware that launched alongside the Mac Pro, which is the new pro display.

  • This new screen is called the Apple Pro Display X, D R and X P R stands for extreme dynamic range, and this thing is again a monster on the spec sheet.

  • If you know anything about the world of pro displays and reference monitors, or even if you don't, it's a 32 inch, six K HDR display.

  • It's an LCD that gets up to 1600 knits of peak brightness and has a 1,000,000 to 1 contrast ratio, which is excellent for an LCD and, as you can see, ultra thin bezels and it will come in a glossy version or this fancy nano etched glass, which is Matt instead.

  • And that's of course, extremely color.

  • Accurate.

  • Of course, the actual hands on and being able to put our own content on it is extremely limited at events like this, so I haven't seen my own videos on it, so it's hard for me to tell exactly how good it is, But Apple draws a lot of comparisons.

  • Tow the 35 $45,000 reference monitors that are used in these actual editing houses that are making movies and things like that.

  • They sustained 1000 nets of brightness is definitely the hardest part.

  • That takes a lot of power and a lot of cooling to get something like this to not overheats.

  • That's why you see the cheese grater ventilation in the back of the monitor matching the Mac pro.

  • And there's even a fan in the back constantly spinning that you can't hear.

  • But it's necessary.

  • Starting price for this monitor $5000.

  • And to get the nano edge to glass version that has the matte finish.

  • That's another 1000 books.

  • So if you want that one, it's $6000.

  • And then with super thin bezels, there's no camera built in, so that's sold separately.

  • Oh, yeah, and so is the stand.

  • So the stand, which is all metal.

  • It swivels and tilts and hide, adjust and can even rotate into port remote.

  • It's actually a pretty excellent stand.

  • It's not included in the monitors $5000 price.

  • That's an extra $1000 for that metal stand.

  • Now that is a really easy thing to make fun of it, for I would do the same thing, mostly because the way they announced it on stage was terrible.

  • They gave, like the prices of $5000 or 6000 for the mad version and then also said, By the way, it also costs $1000 for the stand.

  • Why would you do it like that?

  • The truth is, a lot of people doing professional video editing and things like that are using these displays that are mounted in place, and they have stands already.

  • So when the upgrade displays, they take them out and put them in the same place, and they don't need to buy new mounts and new stands for them.

  • So these people, by monitors with no displays all the time.

  • But you and me and people watching WWDC and most normal people just think of a monitor and a stand as together.

  • So I guess what they shoot us said was, This is a $6000 monitor, but if you want to buy it without the stand, it's 1000 bucks off.

  • Five.

  • Still expensive, obviously, and that's gonna look insane if you put it on the shelf next to other similar monitors and best buy or something.

  • But it could look like a bargain when you're shopping it against the $40,000 reference monitors that it's actually competing against with pros anyway.

  • All in all, there's no denying these two pieces of gear are extremely high end and extremely expensive.

  • Like this is not something most people will get, just like the previous Mac pro, but damn like I you know I was.

  • We've been waiting for this for a while, and they've made a lot of improvements to it.

  • I mean, especially on paper and just in the design that we've been waiting for for a long time.

  • For the Mac Pro, it's coming out in the fall, so I don't know, probably the end of the fall.

  • But I'm actually really looking forward to looking forward to seeing how it'll fit into my workflow.

  • Of course, that afterburner card isn't going to do our three D trance coating.

  • It'll do pro resin progres rob, but I might have to mess around with that a little bit more.

  • All this stuff depends on once I finally get it on my desk.

  • I'm also a little terrified about how much it will end up costing.

  • We should probably his bets on, like how much the maxed out highest end config will cost.

  • I mean by the tiny ad, a terabyte and 1/2 of ram, a 28 cores, eon, even the optional little wheels you can put on the bottom.

  • This thing is probably gonna go.

  • I'm gonna say I'm gonna say $40,000.

  • Even that's my guests.

  • But the whole point is you don't have to buy the highest and one like you had to with the i Mac Pro you by whatever tear you need now and you can upgrade in the future.

  • And that's the Mac pro we've been waiting for.

  • So I'll take the cheese grater or the trash can any day.

  • Either way, let me know if you guys think there's been a quick first impressions video.

  • Thanks for watching.

cheese grater is back big time.
