Had it been 1-2 years ago I think the iMac Pro would have been a great choice for you in terms of a good complete package. I don't know if you got your own business and depend a whole lot on your system for income but if you are I think the general advise is: 'Buy what you need but can afford'.Īpple Silicon Arm Macs is more or less around the corner which makes everything more difficult. It's 2020 the technology is moving so fast.

I think a whole lot of people would say that 'future safe' is pretty much a city in Russia. I don't know much about your other hardware/peripherals which of course is important, but maybe it's time to find another solution? I get that you don't want to invest in a expensive Mac Pro 2019 but maybe an iMac could be a possibility?Īgain, probably not what you wanted to hear but hopefully it will help you to find a great solution for the future. A couple of numbers will look better on paper but improving your everyday workflow seems unrealistic. It's most likely an upgrade for you in speed and maybe capacity depending on what you got now but improving your workflow - I don't think so.Īs much as it hurts the Mac Pro 2013(piece of art) is maybe up for retirement? Upgrading diffrent components cost you money and will most likely not be worth it. This can also be achieved by mounting a NVMe drive with an adapter.

This will give you read/write speeds of around 1500mb/s. Apple later used the SSUBX model in their products. RAM: I guess you can upgrade to 64GB but I doubt that it would make your workflow substantially faster. Now it's 2020 and in my opinion simply not worth it anymore. This became a solution for some trough the years since the Mac Pro 2013 didn't get any upgrades from Apple. But remember it will be limited by the thunderbolt 2 ports and will cost you some money. You can upgrade by getting an eGPU and that will for sure give you a performance boost depending on chosen GPU. GPU: You already have D700s and if you use Final Cut Pro they should still be 'okay', but other video editing programs only uses one card which of course hurts performance. I don't know if you had a lot of apps open when testing, but changing CPU doesn't make much sense. The 12-core is a little more potent but not by much.

6007 in multi-core score seems a bit low though. I guess this answer is not what you was hoping for but here goes!ĬPU: You have the 10-core which means almost top performance.
