Description

Modular Design and Extreme Expandability

The 2019 Mac Pro sets itself apart from most desktop computers with its revolutionary modular design. The chassis can be easily lifted, and components can be swapped or expanded without the need for special tools. This concept, which Apple calls the “Pro Chassis,” allows users to customize the Mac Pro to their specific needs and upgrade it in the future. With eight PCI Express slots, two Thunderbolt 3 ports, and a modular storage system, it’s the ideal platform for specialists who require extreme computing power and want to remain flexible.

Unmatched Processing and Graphics Power

With a choice of Intel Xeon W processors with up to 28 cores and a massive RAM capacity of up to 1.5 TB, the Mac Pro is a true powerhouse. It easily handles the most demanding tasks, such as 8K video editing, complex 3D simulations, and running multiple virtual machines simultaneously. In the graphics department, the Mac Pro sets new standards. With the option to install two MPX Modules, each containing a Radeon Pro Vega II Duo graphics card, the graphics performance can be increased to an incredible 56 teraflops.

Quiet and Efficient Cooling

Despite its immense power, the Mac Pro remains impressively quiet. The cooling system consists of three fans that generate an extremely high airflow to efficiently cool the internal components. Air is drawn in through the distinctive “lattice” on the front and is exhausted through the back. The massive heatsink design ensures that sustained performance is guaranteed even under full load without thermal throttling. This makes the Mac Pro an ideal workstation for studios and offices where noise must be kept to a minimum.
