The new Mac Pro can be customized with up to 64GB of RAM, a 12-core processor, 1TB of PCIe flash storage, and dual graphics cards. If you opt for the top specifications, this will set you back more than $10,000.
Customization Options and Pricing
We just checked out the cost of the Mac Pro on the Apple store and added in a 1.7GHz 12-core processor, 64GB of RAM, 1TB of flash storage, and dual AMD FirePro D700 GPUs, which have 6GB of RAM each. This configuration alone brings the price to a staggering $10,598.
Add in a standard Apple Thunderbolt Display, and the total cost rises even further. Apple is also offering a 4K 31.5-inch Sharp display as an option. If you choose this high-end display, the total cost of your setup will be $13,194.
Performance and Use Cases
The Mac Pro is designed for professionals who need extreme performance for tasks such as video editing, 3D rendering, and software development. The 12-core processor and dual GPUs make it an ideal machine for handling intensive applications like Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere, and other high-end software.
For example, video editors working with 4K or even 8K footage will find the Mac Pro’s capabilities invaluable. The dual GPUs can handle multiple streams of high-resolution video, making real-time editing and rendering much smoother. Similarly, 3D artists and animators will benefit from the powerful graphics cards and ample RAM, which can significantly reduce rendering times.
The Mac Pro’s PCIe flash storage is another standout feature. With read and write speeds far exceeding those of traditional hard drives, this storage solution ensures that large files load quickly and applications run smoothly. This is particularly beneficial for professionals who work with large datasets or high-resolution media files.
