Apple Mac Pro (Rackmount)
Key Features
  • 3.2 GHz Intel Xeon W 16-Core
  • 96GB DDR4 | 1TB NVMe SSD
  • AMD Radeon Pro W6900X (32GB GDDR6)
  • 2 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet Ports
Encased within an aluminum housing that completely lifts off for 360° access to the entire system, Apple has completely redesigned the Mac Pro, creating a modular tower system that delivers performance, expansion, and configurability. Designed for professionals who want to push the limits of what a Mac can do, the Mac Pro will serve those who require extreme CPU performance for workflows such as production rendering, 3D film animation, 8K compositing, building complex 3D environments, analyzing huge data sets, running multiple pro applications, playing hundreds of virtual instruments, simulating an app on a dozen iOS devices simultaneously, and other large projects. With a six-channel memory architecture, twelve physical memory slots, and eight PCIe slots, you'll be able to customize and expand the Mac Pro in ways not previously possible.

This Mac Pro is powered by a 3.2 GHz Intel Xeon W 16-core processor and 38MB of cache memory. The processor can be overclocked to 4.4 GHz, and there is also 96GB of 2933 MHz DDR4 ECC memory. The memory can be upgraded to 768GB using 6 x 128GB DIMM modules or 12 x 64GB DIMM modules. For storage of your files, there is a 1TB NVMe SSD. Encrypted by the Apple T2 security chip, the SSD module delivers sequential read speeds of up to 2.6 GB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 2.7 GB/s. Visuals are handled by the AMD Radeon Pro W6900X graphics card.

Additional connectivity is provided by Apple's half-length PCIe 3.0 x4 I/O card, which offers two 5 Gb/s USB 3.0 Type-A ports and two 40 Gb/s Thunderbolt 3 ports, which use the USB Type-C interface and support 10 Gb/s USB 3.1 Gen 2/3.2 Gen 2 and DisplayPort. The top of the system has two more Thunderbolt 3 ports and all Thunderbolt 3 ports are supported by DisplayPort connections stemming from the GPU. Wired network connectivity is established using dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports for a more reliable and stable connection, or take advantage of Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) for wireless connectivity, and pair wireless peripherals with your system via Bluetooth 5.0.

Apple's Mac Pro includes their Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad, Magic Mouse 2, a USB Type-C to Lightning cable, and a power cord. Protection is provided by a limited 1-year warranty and 90 days of free technical support.

This Mac comes preloaded with macOS. Updates can be downloaded for free via the Mac App Store. Please check Apple's website for upgrade eligibility.

General Features
Tremendous Processor Power and Massive Bandwidth
Designed for customers who demand the ultimate in CPU performance - for workflows like production rendering, playing hundreds of virtual instruments, or simulating an app on a dozen iOS devices at once - the Mac Pro features a powerful Intel Xeon W processor, with many PCI Express lanes for tremendous performance and massive bandwidth. It also provides a lot of power along with a thermal architecture to allow the processor to run fully unconstrained all the time.
Enormous Memory Capacity and Expansion
For pros working with the large projects, analyzing huge data sets, or running multiple pro applications, the Mac Pro provides a memory capacity of up to 1.5TB to meet needs as they grow. Featuring a six-channel memory architecture and 12 physical DIMM slots, each of which supports up to a 128GB memory module, plus eight PCI Express expansion slots, which is twice that of the previous-generation Mac Pro tower, pros can customize and expand their system in ways never before possible in a single workstation.
Powerful Graphics Architecture
For pros animating 3D film assets, compositing 8K scenes, and building complex 3D environments, graphics performance is more important than ever. That is why the Mac Pro features the powerful graphics card with up to 56 teraflops of graphics performance in a single system. Its graphics expansion architecture, the Apple MPX Module, features Thunderbolt integration and over 500W of power, both firsts for any graphics card. And for super quiet operation, the MPX Module is cooled by the Mac Pro system thermals. The Mac Pro can be equipped with up to two Radeon Pro Vega II Duo cards.
Apple Afterburner Card
The Mac Pro debuts Afterburner, featuring a programmable ASIC capable of decoding up to 6.3 billion pixels per second. With Afterburner, video editors using high-quality cameras that require the conversion of native file formats into proxies for easy editing can now use native formats right from the camera and decode up to three streams of 8K ProRes RAW video and 12 streams of 4K ProRes RAW video in real time, virtually eliminating proxy workflows.
Modular Enclosure with 360° Access
The design of the Mac Pro starts with a stainless steel space frame with an aluminum housing that lifts off for 360° access to the entire system. The frame provides a foundation for modularity and flexibility, and incorporates smooth handles for easily moving the Mac Pro around the studio. The housing also features a lattice pattern to maximize airflow and quiet operation. For customers who want to rack mount their Mac Pro in edit bays or machine rooms, an optimized version for rack deployment will be available.
Performance to Transform the Pro Workflow
With up to a 28 core Xeon processor, 56 teraflops of graphics performance, and the Afterburner card, the Mac Pro delivers performance that will transform pro workflows. A number of pro app developers are seeing results that have never been possible in a single workstation.
  • Blackmagic Design brings full CPU and multi-GPU accelerated 8K real-time editing, effects, and color correction in ProRes 4444.
  • Avid can enable support for up to six HDX cards, resulting in more IO, increased voice count, and two times the real-time DSP processing.
  • Maxon's Cinema 4D is seeing 20% faster GPU render performance when compared to a Windows workstation maxed out with three NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000 graphics cards.

    I had been nursing along a mid 2010 unit. Add SSD drives, metal graphics card and other goodies. Got tired of the slow performance in Lightroom and Photoshop. Problem solved, but DARN they are expensive.

    Glad I made the upgrade

    Finally replaced my MacPro mid 2010 as it was no longer upgradeable. Have struggled with it for 2 years, improving thruput with SSD, but still too slow. Using Lightroom with a 40,000 image catalog, it took more than a minute to populate the library files, now about 3 seconds. Full scale image generation in seconds. Using the brush tool feels right - very little lag. Was able to port other apps including a windows library file in VMware Fusion.

    Awesome

    Wanted to cut 4K multicam shoots without having to make proxies, and play back at near full res, and so far, this comp is working great. Cutting in Premiere Pro, Blackmagic 4k, and Canon C70 footage, with no stuttering. Even plays fujifilm 4k HEVC smoothly.

    Extremely frustrated

    I am very frustrated with a new version of Apple Mac Pro. I use Apple Pro since 2001, going through all Apple developing. I liked the version of 2013 Trash Can, stable, relatively cheap and light (5 kg). A new version of 2019 came in 17 kg massive brick and almost a triple price compare to 2013. However after using this new version for more than a year I believe that it is faster compare to 2013 maybe on 15%, constantly freezes and barely pulls through couple of 4K lines while editing. Very not happy. Would not recommend to upgrade from 2013 version.

    I love this Apple product
