| I imagine most video pros will want to stick with a MacPro for at least one more generation before depending upon Thunderbolt extensively. I'm waiting for the next revision of MacPro before upgrading personally. Though i can see how iMacs and MacBookPros are becoming more realistic for intensive video work as time passes.

But those busses would probably have to be completely dedicated to that task, not laden down with other devices vying for the bandwidth. All of this development would come at a very high cost though, when we have a working, cheap solution with pci express slots on desktop motherboards. Taking that external without bottlenecking it is the challenge. The portability premium strikes again. > > Carey > > > > On Jan 16, 2012, at 2:13 PM, Tsassoon wrote: > >> Get a Mini :-) I'd very much like it if nVidia committed to building a Thunderbolt-attached CUDA engine. >> >> >> Tim Sassoon >> SFD >> Santa Monica, CA >> >> Sent from my iPhone >> >> >> >> On Jan 16, 2012, at 11:45 AM, Satya G Meka <lists@rowbyte.com> wrote: >> >>> I hate those Glossy screens that come with iMac >> >> +---End of message---+ >> To unsubscribe send any message to <ae-list-off@media-motion.tv> > > > +---End of message---+ > To unsubscribe send any message to <ae-list-off@media-motion.tv> > |
