Ars Technica takes a critical Look at the new Mac Pro

ArsTechnica takes a look at the new MacPro. And I too think it looks like a Xeon cube with not enough expansion. And NVIDIA likely would not make a deal on their high end graphics cards or redo them for Apple's weird ass case.We shall see when it comes out, but it feels like FCP X all over again!

FX Guide on the new Mac Pro

FX Guide has some interesting points to make on the new MacPro, basically saying it likely not as bad as most of us think, though it may not be for everyone.

Making new MacPro more like old MacPro

I think my move to Windows may be inevitable at this point just from a price perspective.Adding 3 PCI slots via Thunderbolt 1, like the Magma ExpressBox 3t, is about $1000, as you can see here: http://www.magma.com/expressbox-3t. And then let's talk hard drives. So a 4 drive housing to replace the 4 internal drives in a MacPro. Promise has it's 4 drive that also includes Raid 0, 1 or 5 so you don't need to use one of your PCI slots, but new egg sells one with 4 1 TB drives for 1069, or 4 2 TB for $1699! And they will still be external drives, so you couldn't put boot camp on them!We are getting expensive here! Especially when a huge PC ATX case is less than $500. And you could get a MacBook AIR to keep a Mac in your life from $999 to $1700, which is less than these parts for your new MacPro!Unless this thing is really inexpensive, or Apple comes out with their own expansion chassis I am nt feeling sold!

StreamComputing on OpenCL Vs CUDA

SteamComputing has an interesting comparison between OpenCL and CUDA, though I do believe NVIDIA has in fact opened up OpenCL, but AMD has refused to support it.
