Descriptions

Design

Apple’s 2023 Mac Pro Features The Same Design As The 2019 Mac Pro, With No External Design Updates To The Chassis. Apple Built The Mac Pro To Be Modular, Upgradeable, Customizable, And Able To Handle Some Of The Highest-End Components Available On The Market. 

The Mac Pro Uses A Traditional Tower-Style Design, But With An Apple Flare. There Is A Stainless Steel Frame That Supports The Overall System, With Mounting Points For The Interior Components.

When The Aluminum Housing Of The Mac Pro Is Removed, Complete Access To The System Is Available For Adding And Removing Mac Pro Components.

The Mac Pro Is Equipped With The M2 Ultra Chip And Also Needs To Support Additional I/O, So It Has An Impressive Thermal Architecture. Three Impeller Fans Push Air Across The Apple Silicon Chip, And There’s A Blower That Pulls Air Across The Other Components Before It’s Vented Out The Back.

Covering The Mac Pro Is An Aluminum Housing That Apple Designed To Be More Than Just A Decorative Shell. It Acts As A Seal For The Internal Cavity, And Paired With The Fans And Blower, It Helps Maintain The Air Pressure That Keeps The Mac Pro Cool. With This System, The Mac Pro Operates Nearly Silently.

The Aluminum Housing Is Covered With A Lattice Pattern Of Three-Dimensional Interlocking Hemispheres, Which Apple Based On A Naturally Occurring Phenomenon In Molecular Crystal Structures. The Lattice Pattern Increases The Surface Area Of The Mac Pro’s Enclosure, Which Optimizes The Airflow While Also Providing A Rigid Structure.

Stainless Steel Handles At The Top Make Removing The Housing Easy To Get To The Internals. Apple Designed The Handles To Be Part Of The Frame, So The Mac Pro Is Stable When Lifted Or Moved. The Top Of The Mac Pro Houses A Twist Latch That Secures The Enclosure To The Frame. 

There Are Optional Wheels That Can Be Added To The Mac Pro To Make It Easy To Transport From One Location To Another.

The Mac Pro Measures In At 20.8 Inches Tall, 17.7 Inches Long, And 8.58 Inches Wide. With Its Optional Wheels, It’s A Total Of 21.9 Inches Tall. The Mac Pro Weighs In At 37.2 Pounds, And It Is Apple’s Largest Desktop Mac. 

Internals

The Mac Pro Features The Most Powerful Components That Apple Offers, And The Design Of The Device Makes It Customizable To Meet The Needs Of Pro Users.

It Has Seven PCI Express Expansion Slots, Six Of Which Are Available And One With An Apple I/O Card Installed. The Prior-Generation Intel-Based Mac Pro Had Eight Total Open PCIe Slots, Depending On Configuration. The Mac Pro Includes Two X16 Slots And Four X8 Slots. Apple Maintains A List Of Compatible PCIe Cards, And Unlike The Prior Model, It Does Not Support Graphics Cards.

Processor

The Mac Pro Is Only Available With A Single Chip Configuration, And It Ships With The M2 Ultra Chip That’s Also Used In The Mac Studio. The M2 Ultra Chip Is Basically Two M2 Max Chips Working Together To Form A Single Chip For Double The Performance Of The M2 Max. Apple Uses UltraFusion, A Custom-Built Packaging Architecture, For The M2 Ultra.

The M2 Ultra Features A 24-Core CPU With 16 Performance Cores And Eight Efficiency Cores. There’s A 60-Core Or 76-Core GPU And A 32-Core Neural Engine, Along With 800GB/S Memory Bandwidth. 

M2 Ultra Benchmarks Suggest The Machine Features A Single-Core Score Of 2837 And A Multi-Core Score Of 21730, Which Means The CPU Is Up To 20 Percent Faster Compared To The M1 Ultra Chip. It Is By Far The Fastest Apple Silicon Chip That Apple Has Released To Date. 

The 24-Core CPU Is Up To 1.8x Faster Than The 28-Core Intel-Based Mac Pro, While The 76-Core GPU Offers Up To 3.4x Faster Graphics Performance Than The Same Machine. It Supports Up To 22 Streams Of 8K ProRes Video Playback. 

Intel Versions Of The Mac Pro Had A Separate T2 Chip With Secure Enclave, But That Is Now Built Into Apple Silicon Chips. Apple Also No Longer Has A Separate Afterburner Card For The Mac Pro.

There Is No Option To Upgrade The CPU Of A Mac Pro, And It Does Not Support Graphics Cards. 

The Mac Pro Does Include A Media Engine That Offers Hardware-Accelerated H.264, HEVC, ProRes, And ProRes RAW. There Are Two Video Decode Engines, Four Video Encode Engines, And Four ProRes Encode And Decode Engines. 

Memory

The Mac Pro Supports Up To 192GB Unified Memory, Which Is Built Into The Apple Silicon Chip. Unified Memory Architecture Allows The CPU, GPU, Neural Engine, And SSD To Access The Same Data Pool, With No Need To Copy Data Between One Another. 

Memory In The Mac Pro Is Not User Upgradeable, And It May Be A Downgrade From The Intel-Based Mac Pro For Some Users. The Prior-Generation Intel-Based Mac Pro Supported Up To 1.5TB Of RAM.

Storage

The Mac Pro Can Be Configured With Up To 8TB Of SSD Storage. It Is Upgradeable, And Apple Is Selling Standalone Upgrade Modules For The M2 Ultra Machine.

The Base Mac Pro Comes With A 1TB SSD, Which Can Be Upgraded To 2TB, 4TB, Or 8TB.

Ports

The Mac Pro Includes Eight Total Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C) Ports, Six Of Which Are Located At The Back Of The Enclosure And Two Of Which Are On The Top Of The Enclosure. Thunderbolt 4 Ports Support Transfer Speeds Of Up To 40Gb/S.

There Are Also Two USB-A Ports (5Gb/S Speeds), Two HDMI Ports, Two 10Gb Ethernet Ports, And A 3.5mm Headphone Jack That Supports High-Impedance Headphones. 

Inside The Mac Pro, There’s One USB-A Port (5Gb/S Speeds) And Two Serial ATA Ports (6Gb/S Speeds). 

Other Features

Purchasing Wheels After A Mac Pro Has Been Ordered Can Be Done With The Wheel Add-On Kit, Which Is Priced At $700. For Mac Pro Owners Who Purchased Wheels And Would Rather Have Feet, Apple Offers A $300 Feet Kit.

The Mac Pro Comes With A Magic Mouse 2, But Can Be Upgraded To A Magic Trackpad 2 For An Additional $50. Mac Pro Buyers Can Get Both The Mouse And The Trackpad For $149.

A Rack Mount Option For The Mac Pro Costs An Additional $500, Starting At $7,499.

Pro Display XDR

To Go Along With The Mac Pro, Apple Designed The Pro Display XDR, A 32-Inch 6K Display With A Resolution Of 6016 X 3384 And More Than 20 Million Pixels. 

The Display Offers 1,600 Nits Peak Brightness And 1,000 Nits Sustained Brightness, It Features A Super-Wide Viewing Angle, And A 1,000,000:1 Contrast Ratio For What Apple Calls Extreme HDR.

The Pro Display XDR Was Designed To Look Similar To The Mac Pro With A Lattice Pattern That Doubles As A Thermal System. It Features Edge-To-Edge Glass With A 9mm Border And It Is Sold Alongside A Pro Stand That Can Shift From Portrait To Landscape Mode.
