3.46GHz), but from all I seem to remember, the 6-cores perform a little better and the MPs coming with them were equipped with a little faster RAM as well, so that might add up, too. Raw maths would probably result in 60+% (12 instead of 8 cores, 2.4GHz instead of. (100% boost sounds good to me!)Well, maybe I've been a little too optimistic and it's less. Max out what I have (100% boost sounds good to me!) I can definetly upgrade (either myself or through a company like OWC) and I'm good with high sierra.
GRAPHICS UPGRADE FOR MID 2010 MAC MINI UPDATE
Ok, if you planned to update to Mojave (which I will personally try to avoid as long as possible), you'd have to factor in a new GPU.Thank you so much for your answer. So, that's the dual quad-core machine, right? Ok, if you planned to update to Mojave (which I will personally try to avoid as long as possible), you'd have to factor in a new GPU. Roughly calculated, this should give you a performance boost of almost 100%.
GRAPHICS UPGRADE FOR MID 2010 MAC MINI PRO
What are the differences between the standard "Mid-2010" Mac Pro models? What are the differences between the standard and custom configurations of the "Mid-2010" Mac Pro line?: Īnd here's the ebay link to an upgrade kit:ġ2 Core Apple Mac Pro 5,1 2010 2012 Pair X5690 3.46GHz XEON CPU upgrade kit 5.1 640320670714 | eBay These upgrade kits go for 250 bucks.Īccording to this comparison of 2010 MPs, you should be able to upgrade: No idea whether you could upgrade the CPUs to dual 6-core ones, but if you can, there's still sets (including the required tools, thermal paste and what not) available, all the way up to 2x3.4GHz, which should give you a very decent performance boost. I have an early 2010 cheese grater the 2.4ghz one.So, that's the dual quad-core machine, right? I still use my 2010 cheesegrater and it still runs like a dream, even fully loaded with virtual instruments and mix/master plugins. Look at reality! Spend some money to add "features" to your current machine and live happy. Who needs to pay 400$ for a *soldered* 512 MB chip when you can get the same for 10 to 8 times cheaper? And even better/faster chips. You MPro? You can add/change anything you like for reasonable money. Internal storage is a joke and once faulty you'll have to pay ridiculous money for motherboard swap.IF still possible.
Planned obsolescence! Your MPro hasn't beed made with that. Try the same on aMMini and you'll feel the difference. The ability to customize your MPro has no equal in the consumer devices.Īir flow! When your MPro works hard it stays cool. Much smoother and tasks priority is what a PRO machine does. The way Xeon processors work is different. I'd leave Mojave to the early adopters - in case there's nothing you *really* want/need (couldn't imagine anything myself). Also, it'll likely force you to go for APFS (Apples new file system), which, at least to me, doesn't look too shiny so far, so there's perhaps some things that might need a littlle housekeeping before it's really working well. Mojave will completely scrap 32bit compatibility, so if you plan to run, say, something like Audacity or anything else not 64bit yet, you'll be f***ed. Reduced boot times, programs opening faster, plugins opening faster, too, samples loading as fast as it gets, etc.Īnd as far as a new GPU goes: Why hurry? Seriously, I'd stick with High Sierra as long as possible. Seriously, if you don't have an SSD yet, you'll just love it! Sure, you won't gain any CPU cycles, but your entire working experience will feel MUCH more responsive/snappy. HURRY UP to slap one of those puppies in there NOW (the Samsung EVO 860 already mentioned is fine, make sure to order a 3.5" converter dock from ICY along with it, so you can slide it in, it's another 10 bucks or so). Uhm - you have no SSD in your Mac Pro yet but think about buying a new machine? And i think I will definitely profit from an ssd.
