David Hanak Apple officially started selling the long-awaited Mac Pro workstation yesterday, and videos from users who have had a Mac Pro since Friday started appearing on YouTube. Among them, for example, is the popular YouTuber MKBHD, who has been testing the new product for more than two weeks.

Dan Pražák On YouTube yesterday, he posted his extended first impressions, which he took away from more than two weeks of operation. In the video you can see a complete unboxing, where the packaging system of the Mac Pro is particularly interesting. Of interest are the black peripherals, i.e. the Magic Mouse, Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad, as well as the unusually large and black Apple stickers, which have not been available anywhere before.
As for the device as such, it is a massive passively cooled monster that amazes with its performance. Marques kept specific numbers until the review, but in one case he demonstrated the performance of the novelty. In a review of the 16″ MacBook Pro, he tested its performance on the processing speed of a test 8K clip. The 16″ MacBook Pro managed the conversion in about 20 minutes, the most powerful iMac Pro in 11 minutes, and the new Mac Pro (in a not quite top specification) in 4 minutes. The novelty managed to process the video clip in a shorter period of time than its footage.
In the following days, the first detailed reviews will begin to appear on the web, but it seems that the new Mac Pro will indeed be a very powerful solution for those who can use it properly.
And now just imagine how it would be done with a 64-core TR from AMD instead of the leaky only 28-core xeons from Intel...
