Mac Pro 5,1 vs Late 2013 iMac?
Posted: Sat Dec 03, 2016 12:51 pm
I'm currently running DP on a Mac Pro 5,1 3.2 GHz 4-core with 24 gigs ram. I may have an opportunity to get an late 2013 iMac with a 3.5GHz i7 and 32 gig ram for very little or no cost.
According to Geekbench the iMac should be close to 2x the performance. But it's HD is a Fusion 1 gig. I've heard there are issues with this drive and audio.
So my question is, does anyone have any opinions on which Mac would be better suited for recording?
I have an SSD in the Mac Pro which I could put in a external box and use with the iMac. I wonder if it would make sense to use the external SSD drive as the boot drive.
Any opinions? Thanks
