The Xeon line of CPUs are created for professional workstations – and, this can be configured up to a Xeon processor with an astonishing 28 cores. The base model sports a new 8-core Intel Xeon processor, putting a lot of horsepower for multitasking at your fingertips.
AVID 2018 WITH IMAC PRO VS IMAC MAC
The rear view of both the Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR. When it comes to specifications, Apple isn’t pulling any punches, stuffing some seriously impressive hardware into the body of the new Mac Pro 2019. There's also the benefit of the multiple Thunderbolt ports placed on top of the machine, allowing for easier access inside. Even with the massive fans, this powerhouse won’t distract you from your work. In fact, one music producer told us that beforehand one would have to use multiple machines to mix a score, whereas those three or four could now be squeezed into the body of Apple's Mac Pro 2019.Īpple has also fitted the Mac Pro 2019 with a unique cooling system to maximize airflow while keeping the noise down. We'll get to the performance of the new Mac Pro in just a second, but one thing that's worth mentioning about the new model is how much innards you can pack inside such a small space.
AVID 2018 WITH IMAC PRO VS IMAC PORTABLE
It's brutal and sends the message that 'this is for working, not for looking good.’ Still, it’s slightly portable as it is rack-mountable, and you can screw wheels on the bottom to cart it around an office or studio. The Mac Pro's leanings are more traditional with the combination of brushed aluminum and heat sink holes adorning the outer shell, which unfortunately makes it look like an industrial cheese grater. A new designįolks who were indifferent with the older Mac Pro's design will be happy to know that Mac Pro 2019 has been created to be far more industrial and modular. We only know the price for the base model at the moment, but a recent estimate suggests it could cost as high as $45,000 (around £35,000, AU$65,000). Remember, however, that the Pro Display XDR – for $4,999 (about £4,000, AU$7,150) – is a separate purchase, as is the Pro Stand for $999 (about £800, AU$1,400) and VESA Mount Adapter for $199 (about £160, AU$285). That’s for the base configuration with an 8-core Intel Xeon processor (CPU), Radeon 580X graphics processor (GPU) and 32GB of ECC memory (RAM). This is after the new Mac Pro had a vague "Fall 2019" release window for most of the year. The Mac Pro 2019 finally hit the streets on Tuesday, December 10, 2019.
That's always been the case with Mac Pro configurations – it's going to be an investment for everything, which also means that it’s not for everyone. Naturally, the new Mac Pro 2019's companion screen is sold separately, as is the color-tweaked keyboard, mouse and trackpad. That does come with the 28-core Intel Xeon-W processor, 1.5TB of RAM and a 4TB SSD, but that's still a lot of cash. However, if you really want to pack the computer with the heaviest hardware in the game, it's going to set you back a whopping $52,748 (£47,588, AU$84,778). This monitor will set you back monstrous $4,999 (about £3,950, AU$7,270) for the standard version, and $5,999 (about £4,730, AU$8.720) for the Nano-texture equipped version. These specs all combine to deliver a new technology Apple has dubbed Extreme Dynamic Range or XDR, the next generation of HDR.
This monitor is able to produce stunning images, as well, thanks to its 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio. Apple achieves this by using a unique lattice cooling pattern on the back of the display in order to maintain 1,000 nits of brightness at all times – with 1,600 nits of peak brightness. This 32-inch 6K display comes with a Nano-Texture surface meant to reduce reflections without affecting the overall image quality.Īdditionally, because every single LED is calibrated at the factory level for HDR, Apple is able to deliver high-dynamic range like never seen before.
