Apple refreshes the Mac Pro with its new M2 Ultra chip
Apple confirmed at its WWDC conference today that its largest and most powerful desktop will be receiving a few upgrades, including the M2 Ultra chip. While it’s been through several aesthetic variations over the years, including the maligned “trashcan” model, for better or worse though, the Mac Pro will look identical to its cheese grater-like predecessor from 2019. This version, however, will support positioning as either a tower or a rack-mount.
Other lines of Mac products have moved away from using third-party silicon, and now the hulking Mac Pro joins them. It’s former Intel Xeon W setup has been replaced with the aforementioned M2 Ultra. As was rumored, the decision develop a specialized M2 Extreme chip was shelved due to cost and technical difficulty. The Mac Pro will now come stocked with a 24-core CPU and up to a 76-core GPU.
Once again though, the Mac Pro will cost a small fortune: $6,999 to start. That remains an unfathomable and likely prohibitive sum for most customers, but considering the prior model was just $1,000 cheaper and nearly everything else on earth seems to cost a lot more since 2019, it could be worse. Someone who is good at the economy please explain any of this to me.
The Mac Pro can be ordered today, and will become available starting on June 13.
