Opinion: The 10-Core iMac Pro sans additional upgrades is the best bang for the buck<div class="feat-image">
</div><p>With the
iMac Pro officially going on sale yesterday, we now know more about Apple’s powerful, professional-oriented all-in-one desktop. The most exciting new thing about the iMac Pro, besides the fact that it comes with a cool new Space Gray housing and matching accessories, is that it’s
the first iMac model to feature more than a quad-core processor.</p>
<p>Multicore processors are all the rage these days for so-called prosumers, and for good reason — they provide a lot more processing power for apps that can wield that additional power in parallel, and the cost-barrier to entry, led by AMD’s Ryzen CPUs, has been lowered. Video editing workflows with
Final Cut Pro X instantly come to mind, but
developers are also a big part of the equation, as more cores can provide significantly faster compilation times.</p>
<p>But what if you’re on a budget? — I know, silly question when you consider that the entry-level model starts at $4999. However, there is one particular iMac Pro SKU that stands out to me above all of the rest. The 10-core iMac Pro, at least on paper, seems like the sweet spot. <a href="
