• New mac pro desktop upgrade#

With a 16-core CPU, no memory upgrade (we’ll buy that somewhere else, thank you), a Radeon Pro Vega II and 2 TB of SSD storage, we’re at USD 11,199.

So let’s go for a more sensible configuration. That number is of course entirely fictional, because no one in their right mind would pay Apple 25,000 dollars (whew!) for 1.5 terabytes of RAM. That doesn’t include taxes and any other extras, like a monitor and monitor stand, but that’s a whole other story. So here you have it: With 28 cores, 1.5 TB of RAM, dual Vega II Duo graphics cards and 4 TB of SSD storage, the 2019 Mac Pro breaks the sound barrier at USD 50,199. Like everyone else, I headed straight to Apple’s website when the news broke, and maxed out the specs out of curiosity. If that’s all you get for 6000 bucks, how much does it cost to upgrade the Mac Pro to a configuration that truly deserves the “pro” moniker? It comes with an 8-core Intel Xeon W CPU running at 3.5 GHz (turbo boost 4.0 GHz), 32GB of RAM, AMD Radeon Pro 580X graphics and a measly 256 GB (!) of SSD storage. Let’s put those numbers aside for a moment and take a look at the base model. The computer’s mind-blowing maximum specs were also already well-known and vividly discussed: Intel Xeon W processors with up to 28 cores, up to 1.5 terabytes of DDR4 ECC memory, and dual AMD Radeon Pro Vega II Duo graphics cards. We already knew the new “cheese grater” case with no less than eight PCI Express expansion slots. The new Mac Pro is now officially available.
