After playing with the iMac Pro and loving its performance (though I’ve returned it now) I was thinking of testing this configuration Intel i9-7980XE Asus Prime X299-Deluxe Samsung 960 Pro SSD G.Skill F4-3200OC16Q-32GTZR x 2 (allowing 64GB in quad channels) Corsair AX1200i PSU Corsair H100i water cooloer Cooler Master Silencio 652S Aim is for the fastest and most silent PC (if such thing exists) The price on Amazon is 4400 euros which is well below the iMac Pro cost (less than half for similar core count) or the Lenovo P710. The choice of the motherboard is that there’s successful report on the hackintosh forum to run macOS High Sierra (though no wifi support) Any ideas when the updated Lenovo P710 will come out? Anandtech had a nice article about the i9-7980EX in regards to clock speed according to the number of core in use… It clearly shows that base frequency matters very little as the turbo frequencies almost make them all equal.
