![]() ![]() My current PC, a custom-built PC with a Ryzen 5900X and RTX 4090, runs at a maximum of 700 to 800 watts with the GPU using up to a staggering 450 watts, and that’s completely fine. The issue is that the impressive “performance per watt” that Apple advertises doesn’t matter on a machine like the Mac Pro. The Mac Pro, which starts at $6,999 for the base model, is forever stuck with the same CPU, GPU, and soldered RAM, and especially at the speed Apple Silicon has been progressing, this is a real shame.Īpple Silicon is genuinely remarkable and comes with many benefits, including blazing-fast CPUs and absurd efficiency. That is all Apple gave their professional users in the ways of upgradability. ![]() Mac Pro: Unleashed Potential, Chained by SiliconĬompared to the new M2 Ultra Mac Studio, the Mac Pro has upgradeable storage and six PCI-E slots that can be used for adding cards, such as high-speed storage, networking, or specialized cards like those necessary for music production. ![]() Unfortunately, Apple stuck with the same M2 Ultra SOC from the Mac Studio, and besides adding PCI-E expandability, the computers are nearly identical. With early rumors of an “M2 Extreme,” with double the computing power of the M2 Ultra, I was very excited about the Mac Pro and hoped it could finally replace my custom-built PC I use for 3D graphics at 9to5Mac. ![]() The Apple Silicon Mac Pro is here, but it still won’t replace my custom-built PC for 3D rendering and graphics work at 9to5Mac.Īpple has finally revealed their long-awaited Apple Silicon Mac Pro, and I won’t be buying one. ![]()
