MacworldMacworld Podcast: Requiem for the Mac Pro
Zygmunt KrynickiI put #Ubuntu 26.04 on a 2019 #MacPro (7,1) with a 32GB HBM2 Vega II GPU. It's surprisingly AWESOME for both gaming (current-gen AAA GOG games through Heroic Launcher run very very well) AND quite awesome at local AI. #Qwen35 getting nearly 80 tokens per second was really unexpected for this nearly obsolete box. All in all, silent and pretty good. Definitely runs better than MacOS.
Andrew DavisonBlimey, Mac Pro (Xeon E5-1680 v2) gets a kicking in the #Geekbench CPU test against the M1. Mac mini is 2x multi-core and 3x single. Good gravy!

From a graphics performance point of view, the Mac mini (M1, 2020) is roughly equivalent to a Mac Pro (D700, 2013). This is single GPU performance. The second D700 in the Mac Pro is just having a rest.

No, I didn’t just get a lovely Mac Pro off eBay. Promise. 🤞
