2014-01-23
today's video is made possible by lu+ for a free extended two-week trial period head over to Hulu Plus com /t ot hello and welcome back once again to another edition of tech dub tomorrow I'm gonna work your host and today we're gonna be taking a look at the late 2013 Mac Pro versus the late 2010 Mac Pro now some people out there gonna be like oh hey it's Mac stuff you know we don't really care but a lot of people out there actually own this machine now mine the old one it is the 2010 is the quad-core 2.8 version the one that we're testing against the new one it's 3.5 and is the 6 core processor so there is some differences there but a lot of people out there actually do own this 2010 machine a lot of people have talked to online everything you know people bought this machine because it was what was really the standard for the last few years we've been using my recording studio now for close to four years and now the new one has come out now the new one also has 1866 memory it's got 32 gigs of it mine's only got 16 gigs and it's a lot slower memory now I also upgraded mine now the new one it comes to the 256 gigabyte PCI SSD I got one from other world computing that's inside this one over here and that's a 240 gigabyte PCIe SSD I also upgraded my video card to the latest EVGA gtx 680 at the time that was a top-line thing that it could be the new Mac Pro however comes with 2d 500s now these things did not get recognized in a couple of tests we just kind of emitted those tests out of there because we do think that would be very fair but you guys will see that this little machine is basically what a quarter of the size of this one now I know that kind of goes both ways obviously inside this machine I can upgrade the out of it internally I can even upgrade the CPU a little bit farther if I want to I could still push this machine a little bit but look how big it is it's big its bulky you can't really move it around the new Mac Pro though when we hold a trash can look how small it is I mean you could literally unplug the thing so it almost inside your camera bag and take that wherever you're going now I know obviously a monitor is not going to be included in that but still quarter the size twice as fast runs a little bit warm but not so hot a lot of people out there that's what I mentioned say so you guys mention oh my god it gets so hot no it doesn't get so hot you could like fry an egg on it's not like that at all obviously it gets warm but this machine's virtually quiet and also for people out there who are just like you know looking like saying hey maybe I would like to purchase this new Mac Pro well now we're going to have the scores so you can see them so even though this is a comparison video comparing the old 2010 to the new 2013 well you can still use these scores for a reference point so let's go alright folks so let's start off with the black magic disk speed test now the 2013 six core Mac Pro has a write speed of eight hundred three megabytes a second a read of 915 megabytes a second the older 2010 for core Mac Pro had a write speed of 300 point five megabytes a second and a read of six hundred seventeen point five megabytes a second so you can see a vast improvement on your disk speed test next up Geekbench 3 64-bit a very popular test many people use it the 2013 six core Mac Pro had a single core score of three thousand six hundred and twelve and a multi-core score of yeah get rid drop your pants twenty thousand seven hundred and ten holy SH the 2010 for core Mac Pro had a single core score of two thousand one hundred seventy nine and a multi-core score of eight thousand five hundred and twenty big landmark difference there as well next up Lux mark version 2.1 of this test OpenCL performance which is something that these new Mac pros are supposed to really excel at now the 2013 six core Mac Pro had a score of three thousand one hundred and ninety four K raised a second the 2010 for core Mac Pro got one thousand 32 K raise a second that's a vast vast improvement OpenCL performance if you're somebody out there is doing a lot of business rendering this is going to come in very handy next up Cinebench r15 the 2013 six core Mac Pro in OpenGL gets a score of seventy six point six seven frames per second the two thousand four core Mac Pro got a forty four point eight frames per second the same test now in the CPU test the 2013 got asked or of 961 Seabee while the 2010 got a score of 459 almost double the score in that next up we have Unigine Valley one point out now this is one of the tests that actually did not see both the D 500 cards in the new Mac Pro and so in this particular test we're not going to get that true performance so but we've seen a crossfire like we would if we were using a regular gaming machine so for gaming this might not be you know absolutely you know end-all be-all solution but for those people doing OpenCL testing this thing's still going to be kicking major ass the 2013 six core Mac Pro has an extreme preset of twenty-nine point four frames per second and a score of twelve hundred and thirty its maximum frames per second was fifty one point four now on the other one the 2010 for core Mac Pro that has my EB GA 680 it had an extreme preset of forty point nine frames per second and an overall score of 17 ten and the maximum frame per second sixty five point nine like I said this is pretty much the only test in here where we see the video card in my older machine taking advantage of it because it's not really geared right now to take advantage of those 2d 500s now the last test we did is more geared for real-world uses this is pretty much something that anybody could do at home and this is the brand-new Final Cut 10 now what we did is yesterday's video of the 290 exits you guys saw us do we actually took that video and we transferred it back and forth to get these scores now the video that we exported was 6 minutes and 29 seconds at 1080p now it took 5 minutes and 29 seconds to export this video on the 2013 6 quart Mac Pro now my 2010 it took much longer 9 minutes 24 seconds now you guys can clearly see that this is going to be an advantage for people who actually make money off their time because if it's going to take you twice as long to export your video that means twice as long to be sitting around picking your nose scratching your butt doing whatever you're doing wasting that time so with the new Mac Pro you can see that you're going to cut your work load time in half and that's going to save you some money which is something a serious business person always looks at now I know everybody's going to ask 4k 4k 4k alright let's take a look at the four case cause now the video we used in this 4k video is two minutes long it took five minutes and seven seconds to export it on the 2013 6 core Mac Pro and 9 minutes 20 seconds on the 4 core 2010 once again a serious different in export times alright folks so before I bounce header just want to say that the video that we use in 4k is by Blackmagic if you guys would like to have access to that video we will have it down there below like but in the description we'll also have more information about what's going on with this video also before I totally get out of here I want to give special thanks once again to Hulu Plus for making this video possible without their support hey you guys might not have seen this video today so I know many of you PC users out there know what Hulu is but do you guys really know what Hulu Plus is because whoo plus is like a whole different level Hulu Plus is like taking that standard video card slap on the watercooler on it and getting the absolute most bang for your buck just all kinds of content now with the standard whoo you can only watch it on your PC but with Hulu Plus baby you can take that on the go on your tablet on your phone with Hulu Plus you can catch up on current shows binge on old favorites or watch a great movie stream as many TV shows and movies as you want anytime anywhere you can also check out exclusive content including Hulu originals like the wrong mans and behind the mask best of all you can watch all of this content and HD now I know a lot of people always ask how can you guys support the site well at this time you can support the site and get your guys a free extended trial period just by going to Hulu Plus calm /t ot where you can enjoy a plea plus for two weeks so that's pretty much it folks you guys can see that there are a lot of differences between the late 2013 and the late 2010 models mine's obviously bigger a lot more expandability on the inside now I have no Thunderbolt though whatsoever I could buy a card and stick it in there if I wanted to but I don't have that right now this machine is totally geared for having everything through a daisy chain off of it if you guys watch how I showed you guys the unboxing and first look of it this thing has lots of expandability as far as that stuff goes so that's the way it's meant to be this one's not meant to be that way now for me I run a recording studio video editing studio everything works fine on my Mac Pro I'm going to hold off right now on upgrading because the four thousand dollar price tag in this one right now with me trying to get other stuff is like mmm and this one's still working but I will say that given the opportunity and I had to cash I would jump on this new product why well for one thing look how small it is it doesn't take up very much desk baek's whatsoever it looks awesome if you actually got some tricked-out badass speakers I mean your desktop could actually look pretty futuristic with this thing or you know you could have it so you have your trashcan on your desktop and I'm just playing but there you guys have it there are a lot of significant differences between the two machines the 2013 is coming to market about four thousand dollars you could probably pick up my machine for about two grand with everything I have in it so there are some price differences but for those people out there might be considering either buying an older Mac or a newer Mac or just considering buy a Mac we've brought you the scores and the information you know to make your buying choice so I'm Miller we'll see you guys back here on Tekken tomorrow see with
