Apple Reveals macOS High Sierra at WWDC - Available Fall 2017

[ekwipt]

From what I can find the iMac Pro will use Skylake-X CPUs and X299 chipset. This is based on Gigabyte has already announced a X299 board that has ECC RAM support, the GA-C422-WS.

mmm my next board perhaps

iMac Pro is Xeon not those.

Actually, the Skylake-X processors are Xeons.

• The most important news for me on the Apple website is: (Radeon Pro Vega)

The new core i9 cpus (skylake-x) are rebranded Xeons. So yes, the iMac pro will be using xeons.

hope clover bootloaders can support the new Apple File System

I am happy that apple is updating to Kaby-Lake cpus - hopefully that will mean that we will be able to update to the newest cpus and chipsets at some point.

For those of us that currently have a Kaby lake CPU and spoof the Skylake CPUID, I wonder how the upgrade process will go? If we just remove the fakeCPUID from clover before the upgrade will it just work? I really don't want to completely reinstall...

 

[zjDrummond]

This means that MacOS now supports Kaby Lake, right?

 

[thecoimbra]

So, since the system itself is not going to change a whole lot, you guys think we'll be able to use the new radeon kexts on the current sierra versions just to get the otb support? (For the RX480 without a "boot" gpu). I don't have any onboard graphics, for me would be a big deal until the full release of High Sierra.
