I'm talking about performance per $.
That's the whole point of a computer you use for work.
Thousands of hours of rendering and complex math modeling
No offence but, professionals don't use computers (mac mini with a mobile gpu lol and 2011 mbp series with defective overheating gpu) crippled by their elitist design to render intensive tasks.
I'm sure your "Thousands of hours of rendering" would have taken only hundreds of hours with a dedicated OpenCL box for the same if not cheaper price.
Take from it what you will. For almost 10 years, I’ve spent a day’s salary per year for my productivity.
Your ad hominem attacks are entertaining. Although it doesn’t matter to this conversation, I’ve used several of the largest publicly owned supercomputers in the us for my work in neurobiology.
ad hominem attacks
You are taking it personally when I made my point based on the technical aspect.
There are 2 ways to justify your denial about using crippled hardware.
Your work was certainly not based on deadlines
You weren't using your computers for real intensive tasks
I’ve used several of the largest publicly owned supercomputers in the us for my work in neurobiology.
I don't see a correlation with me saying that crApple laptops and mac mini aren't appropriate for cpu/gpu intensive tasks due to their design limitation (throttling because of overheating).
You obviously don’t understand how supercomputers work.
Nothing personal, but this is very far off topic. Congratulations on completely derailing an otherwise productive conversation on pc value.
