Apple introduced exactly 28 years ago, specifically on March 19, 1990, an extremely fast Macintosh IIfx. Inside the infernal machine was a processor with a clock frequency of 40 MHz. The price of the Apple computer started at $9, but in the highest configuration it climbed to $870. If we were to convert the prices to today's value of money, the purchase price Macintoshe IIfx would range from $19 to $000.
Macintosh The IIfx was essentially the sixteenth model Macu, which saw the light of day. It showed how dramatically the computing power of computers had increased in just a few years. It had a 40MHz Motorola 68030 microprocessor.

In addition to the processor, the computer gained speed from two dedicated I/O processors known as peripheral interface controllers. These were two 10MHz 6502 processors used in Applu II. Macintosh IIfx was the fastest at the time Macwhich Apple presented until then. He held the title of the fastest computer until Apple released the Quadra 1993av model in 840.
Macintosh The IIfx was the last computer with a design Snow White, with which Apple came in 1984. The term Snow White was introduced by designer Hartmut Esslinger, using vertical and horizontal stripes to create the illusion that the computer is smaller than it actually is.

Despite its high performance, Macintosh IIfx has not penetrated the world of professional workstations, as Apple originally hoped. The Cupertino company thought it had developed a computer that would find a place in engineering and medicine. But that turned out to be nesthello.
Even though he was Macintosh The IIfx was incredibly powerful, lagging behind the top workstations from IBM and Digital Equipment Corp. But it still had its fans, especially among people working in creative fields that required excellent graphics.
