I am not convinced to buy a new computer.
#Macos monterey os family pro#
So the question is, am I going to replace my perfectly running Mac Pro with a newer M1 Pro system by paying additional around 3500-4000 USD, and it is not even going to provide me the same RAM and expansion capabilities as Mac Pro? For me, it does not make sense, and I also believe that it is still way to early to replace this machine unless it breaks or not. Unless you are going to spend a fortune for M1 Max and Ultra, a 2013 Mac Pro with 12 core Xeon has very similar performance compared with regular M1, and when compared with M1 Pro, it is just %25-30 slower in Multi Core. The biggest problem with these news is, this machine still performs pretty well. I am also a proud owner of Mac Pro 2013, and I purchased it 4 years ago second-hand, still using it on my daily routine and it is turned on 24-7 running server apps.

I will probably keep mine in the family and it will remain handy for the odd Windows app I need to run under VMware Fusion. Still curious to see if OC will make Ventura run smoothly on the MP6,1. Moving from my MP6,1 to a Studio Max was such a relief! Time to move on and that gap is now filled by the much more efficient and effective Mac Studio. For those that require much more GPU power nothing beats a MP7,1 of course, but for others the trashcan design could have delivered much more.

The same machine with Thunderbolt 3, more PCIe 3.0 lines for the GPU and SSD, and perhaps MXM GPU slots for (limited) GPU upgrade options would have been so much better. The biggest issues I have with the MP6,1 are more hardware-related: fragile memory slot pins, rapidly obsolete Thunderbolt 2 (Thunderbolt 3 arrived just 2 years after), no GPU upgrade path and limited number of PCIe lines going to the SSD. The grass is not necessarily greener on the other side: Windows 11, which was released in October 2021, theoretically requires a much more recent 8th generation Coffee Lake CPU. That’s not too bad in my books and if you depend on key legacy apps, you’ll often stick to an older OS release anyway. And we likely get two more years of security fixes for Big Sur Monterey (I got confused, maybe yearly updates are too much indeed ).
Request access for the preview.We’re still 3-4 months away from the actual release of Ventura, so the MP6,1 will have been supported by current OS releases for 3 years after end of sale, or 9 years after release.
