According to @MKBHD the Mac Pro can encode 8K footage faster than real-time. It takes a 25-minute task down to 4 minutes.
My org employs engineers whose computers literally cannot be fast enough whose work product earns hundreds of millions of dollars.https://t.co/dFdg3U6tj6— SwiftOnSecurity (@SwiftOnSecurity) December 11, 2019
Exactly. The Mac Pro is “so expensive” according to everyone, when in reality in its market segment is a damn good deal.
In a different market segment, the previous company I worked for had the fastest non-supercomputers in the world available to customers (IBM Power9-based Power System E980s for reference) — and the customers still were asking for something quicker as it wasn’t enough. There are tons of people who will pay, and pay dearly, for performance.
Being able to encode 8K faster than real time. Holy hell. That is something.
