Confirmed... T2 in new Mac Pro

I expected that. Apple seems to use the T2 chip in all their Pro computers, such as the MacBook Pro, iMac Pro, and now the Mac Pro.

There will be no Windows 11. Windows 10 will just be updated.

I actually read something recently that stated otherwise.

I have the new Mac mini and it has the T2 as well. So far it’s a great machine but the iGPU totally blows and is severely underpowered. Very glitchy and choppy on animations from resizing and windows opening and closing. I got a Sonnet eGPU enclosure and a Radeon x580 and ALL those issues went away. I can’t believe they allowed something that bad to go into production to the masses... the Apple forums are full of ppl complaining of issues with graphics on the new Mac mini.

I'm interested to see how well the cooling system works with those dual Vega video cards.

The Latest Windows 10 Version Won't Be the Last One

What is the latest Windows 10 version? How long is it supported? And why did Microsoft switch to a service model? Answers within!

Did you see that they have cards that have TWO Vega VII pro’s on one card? They connect on the card with something called “Fabric Link” and you can have 2 of those Vega VII Pro Duo cards for a total of 4 GPU’s and 128gb of HBM2 memory?

The replay isn't up yet, but if i'm not mistaken, I believe one of the early Mac Pro testers (I think Adobe?) got mentioned as using Quadro GPUs. Maybe this means latest-generation nvidia drivers?

There is a video on Apples site that shows how they are handling the cooling.

The only mention of Quadros I remember was in saying how the Vegas outperform them.

Edit:
Correction... I think it was when they were saying how much the Afterburner outperformed the Quadros.
