Seriously. The power of this new Mac Pro is simply staggering. Watch the video below and tell me your current production rig can do that: (spoiler: With 18 effects applied to a RED 4K footage, the Mac Pro was able to playback the video in real-time without dropping a single frame)

All this performance do come with a price. The machine in the video, speced out on the Apple Canada web store comes to $8,199.

The one sheet of the specs are:

3.0GHz 8-core Intel Xeon Processor with 25MB of L3 cache
64GB (4 x 16GB) of 1866MHz DDR3 ECC RAM
1TB PCIe-based flash storage
Dual AMD FirePro D700 GPUs with 6GB of GDDR5 VRAM each.

Yes, it might truly take a Christmas Miracle for me to ever own one of these machines, but a boy can certainly dream.

Happy Christmas Everybody
