These aren’t things that you’d find in a benchmark or an automated test flow.

These aren’t necessarily always fundamental performance issues. This kind of left-hand-talking-to-the-right-hand thing is key to making great products, and it gives me lots of hope and excitement about what we’re going to see coming out of Apple for creative pros. The Pro Workflow Team is being led by John Ternus, vice president of Hardware Engineering, and as noted above, it works closely with engineering. “And to point, because we build the hardware, the firmware, the operating system, the software, and have these close relationships with third parties, we can attack the entire stack and we can really ferret out where we are-we can optimize for performance.” Left Hands and Right Hands

“We’ve gone from just, you know, engineering Macs and software to actually engineering a workflow and really understanding from soup to nuts, every single stage of the process, where those bottlenecks are, where we can optimize that,” Mr. It’s also a great piece of information to let get out of Apple as the company works hard to convince those creative pros that yes, Apple really does value their business. That’s significant to me because it represents a big change in how Apple is truly paying attention to creative pro needs. Some of that is software, some is driver-related, and some hardware. These creative pros are working near Mac Pro engineers whose job it is to identify workflow bottlenecks and then solve those bottlenecks.

These folks are working on real projects, but they’re doing so inside Apple as part of a Pro Workflow Team. Apple has brought creative pros inside Apple to see how they work. Honestly, it sucks we have to wait another year for the Mac Pro, but there was some great news in this TechCrunch piece. “We know that there’s a lot of customers today that are making purchase decisions on the iMac Pro and whether or not they should wait for the Mac Pro.” Pro Workflow Team “We want to be transparent and communicate openly with our pro community, so we want them to know that the Mac Pro is a 2019 product, it’s not something for this year,” Tom Boger, senior director of Mac Hardware Product Marketing, told TechCrunch. That is a delightful change on Apple’s part considering the circumstances, and it also lets users who were on the fence about the iMac Pro decide whether or not to keep waiting for the modular Mac Pro. First released in 2013, and kinda-sorta updated last year, the so-called Mac Pro is anything but.Īpple has promised pro users that it got the message, and it would appear part of today’s message is to give those users a clearer road map of what to expect. This is disappointing to many Mac fans, especially pro users, who marvel that Apple could have let its Mac Pro line get so out of whack for so many years with the Trash Can Mac Pro.
