Order your new Mac Pro and get it next week if you want to!
The new Apple Mac Pro is here with the new M2 Ultra and anyone can purchase and get it from next week (in the US, it has a 5-7 business day delivery window) with a starting price of $6,999 with free shipping, which is $1,000 more than the previous Xeon-based one (you do get twice the base memory and storage though). Could it be the best workstation ever launched? Stay tuned for a review when we get it.
As expected, options have been changed significantly as well; there’s one CPU SKU (24-core CPU, 32-core Neural Engine) with a GPU upgrade from 60-core to 76-core, a 27% improvement, for $1,000. We don’t know whether the upgrade also comes with improvement in clock speeds.
The base configuration for the Mac Pro has 64GB unified memory (which means that the memory is used by the GPU and the CPU). Doubling the system memory to 128GB costs $800, tripling it adds another $800; in other words, Apple is charging $12.50 per GB of RAM.
