The new 2019 Cheese Grater Mac Pro replaces the old 2013 Trashcan iMac Pro.
It seems like this is the first time that Apple has taken customer feedback seriously and built something that people want with some Apple style Twists.
So,Input/Output includes 2 USB-3 ports,2 10Gb Ethernet ports and a huge number of Thunderbolt-3 ports. Very Apple style,that is, moving towards the whole USB-C future. But, they have let go of the End-To-End control that Steve Jobs was so so very fond of, which was a strategy which worked like magic for so so many years(Maybe only this time). Instead, this feels like the only Apple product buyable with Room to Grow…
Apple has decided the option of upgradability with this Mac Pro, whereas all other products by Apple require special tools to get into.
The 2019 Mac Pro looks a little like the old 2006 Cheese Grater iMac Pro but with style and Cool. The Cheese Grater design helps in a very very good Air Ventilation system which leads to the fans not requiring to work that hard which in turn lead to very very quiet Workstation sitting on your desk.Certainly an upgrade from the Trashcan as it had no ventilation method at all.
And the specs include:
Intel Xeon W Processor 8 core up to 28 core. SUPPPPEEERRRRRR FAST.
DDR4 ECC RAM 32 GB up to 1.5 TB. That’s a LOTTTT.
Graphics power comes from AMD Radeon Pro 580X/W5700X/Vega II/Vega II Duo each with 1 TB/s memory bandwidth.
1.4 kilowatts power supply
8 PCI Express expansion slots
Apple Afterburner ProRes and ProRes RAW accelerator card for up to 16K video editing.
Storage options include 256 GB SSD all the way up to 8 TB SSD with sequential read and sequential write speeds of up to 3.4 Gb/s.Storage encrypted by Apple T2 chip.
Its all very high end specs which can be taken over the top. And the Mac Pro performs as the specs would make you believe. Everyday tasks fly on the new Mac Pro. But, its not made for everyday tasks. The intensive stuff also seems like a breeze as compared to anything comparable.
Apple certainly did do a fine job as always with its new Mac Pro in making it very very powerful and future proof and making it out of solid steel due to which it only weighs 78.5 pounds.Meh..
One thing to remind though.The display comes Separately with Display Stand sold separately. And it comes with the biggest Apple stickers EVER.
