Apple Reveals macOS High Sierra at WWDC - Available Fall 2017

[Stork]

Please tell me the new version of mac OS High Sierra supports Haswell processor?

It should. All the OS X/macOS updates since 10.6 have supported hacks with a lot older processors. The trick is the System Definition. Before Sierra, MultiBeast defaulted to the MacPro3,1 SysDef. But, Sierra dropped support for a bunch of older systems. So, now MultiBeast defaults to iMac14,2 which works very well. So, as we work with the prerelease 10.13 builds, we'll work out the Beasts' details. Stay tune for film at 11.

Thank you! hfsPlus_x64.efi and ntfs_x64.efi and zfs_x64.efi works fine with Clover instead of old HFSPlus-64.efi and NTFS-64.efi.

They are from gnu grub.

iMac Pro is Xeon not those.

Xeon is just branding, same with Core. In a lot of cases with the single socket chips, the only difference between the Xeon and Core CPU is ECC ram support.

I guess we will have to wait a very long time for the upcoming Nvidia Volta GPU drivers right? Apple went AMD again...

Good reason for that, AMD has much better OpenCL support while Nvidia focused on their own CUDA which Apple doesn't support. Since gaming is not a priority, AMD is the better choice for Apple.

That makes a lot of sense!

I think not. With this on-stage announcement of eGPU it would be in nVidia's financial interest to get drivers out ASAP.

...and L2/L3 cache, and Chipset, and PCI-e bandwidth, and performance, and, and,

Are there already drivers for nVidia on this beta mac os?

No. When they're available, they will be listed in a sticky thread in the Graphics forum section.

Im still on 14,1 for system definition. Would changing to 14,2 need a new SN? Want to keep iMessage working.
