Power to change everything.
Say hello to a Mac that is extreme in every way. With the greatest performance, expansion and configurability yet, it is a system created to let a wide range of professionals push the limits of what is possible.
Function defines form.
Every aspect of Mac Pro is designed in pursuit of performance. Built around a stainless steel space frame, an aluminium housing lifts off, allowing for 360-degree access to every component and vast configuration. From there anything is possible.
Engineered to go all out. All the time.
Squeezing every possible ounce of performance out of the processor means giving it a lot of power. In this case, over 300 watts. A massive heat sink keeps the system cool, enabling it to run fully unconstrained. Heat pipes move heat away from the chip, dispersing it along aluminium fin stacks. While three axial fans move air through the system.
Forget everything you know about memory.
A multicore workstation processor needs lots of memory to feed it. Featuring six channels of ultrafast ECC memory and 12 physical DIMM slots, Mac Pro allows for up to 1.5TB of memory. So pros working with large projects, analysing huge datasets or running multiple pro applications can make short work of all kinds of work. And while typical towers cram memory into hard-to-reach places, Mac Pro uses a two-sided logic board, making it easy to access.
Extreme performance. By design.
For many pros, a high-performance graphics architecture is critical to their workflows. Especially for tasks like animating 3D film assets, compositing 8K scenes and building lifelike gaming environments. To give them the highest possible performance and take graphics capabilities to a new level, something groundbreaking was required. Introducing the Mac Pro Expansion Module — or MPX Module.
A second connector. An industry first.
The MPX Module starts with an industry-standard PCI Express connector. Then more PCIe lanes integrate Thunderbolt and additional power provided to increase capability. With up to 500 watts, the MPX Module has a power capacity equivalent to that of the entire previous-generation Mac Pro.
