SAN JOSE, Calif.—Today, Apple announced a new Mac Pro desktop computer—the first new product in that line since 2013.
The new Mac Pro offers a vastly different design than the cylindrical “trash can” design of the last Mac Pro, which released nearly 2,000 days ago. This new model has more of a tower design that is a closer analogue to the “cheese grater” Mac Pro models that existed before the latest machine. It has stainless steel handles for moving the device as needed as well as a set of steel “feet” on the bottom. Apple says both sides of the device are openable for user access.
As you might expect from a desktop computer designed primarily for professional needs, Apple is touting the new Mac Pro as “the most powerful Mac [it] has ever created.” The company says it is using a “brand new” Intel Xeon processor with up to 28 cores and six channels of 2933 MHz ECC memory with 12 DIMM slots. The device is configurable with up to 1.5TB of system memory. It can use up to 300 watts of power and comes with a large heat sink for cooling that Apple says will allow the device to “run fully unconstrained all the time.”
