#RACKMOUNT MAC PRO DESKTOP FULL#
One of the reasons to go with a full desktop is extra connectivity, but that’s not true of the Mac Pro.
#RACKMOUNT MAC PRO DESKTOP UPDATE#
Until Apple decides to update the Mac Pro, the Mac Studio will likely be the performance king.

It’s not clear if Apple was referencing the recent Radeon Pro W6900X GPU available for the Mac Pro, which may outclass the GPU inside the M1 Ultra.Īlthough we haven’t tested the Mac Studio yet, we’ve handled enough Apple silicon to know how it stacks up. It’s also up to 5.6 times faster than the Mac Pro when transcoding video, and up to 80% faster than the fastest Mac graphics card available today.

Mind you, this CPU is a $7,000 upgrade on the Mac Pro. During its Peek Performance event, Apple said the Mac Studio with an M1 Ultra is up to 60% faster than the Mac Pro with 28-core Intel Xeon CPU. We’ve tested the M1 Max extensively, and it’s seriously impressive.įor a short answer, the Intel Xeon processors and Radeon Pro GPUs available for the Mac Pro don’t even come close. You can configure the machine with either the M1 Max or M1 Ultra chip, and the M1 Ultra is basically two M1 Max CPUs stitched together. We may not have our hands on the Mac Studio yet, but we have a good idea about how it will perform. We also don’t know how heat will fare in the Mac Studio with its small size and high computing power. The larger size enables expansion with MPX modules, and Apple offers a rack-mountable version. For size, the Mac Studio is only 3.5 liters in volume, while the Mac Pro is a massive 51 liters.Īlthough the Mac Studio saves a lot of space, the Mac Pro still has its place. The Mac Pro weighs just shy of 40 pounds, while the Mac Studio clocks in at a light 6 pounds for the M1 Max and 8 pounds for the M1 Ultra. The Mac Studio is significantly lighter, too. If space is a concern, the Mac Studio is for you. The Mac Pro is a full tower computer with carrying handles and feet, while the Mac Studio is a beefier version of the Mac Mini.
There’s a large difference in price between the Mac Studio and Mac Pro, but an even larger difference in design. Design Brittany Hose-Small/AFP via Getty Images The Mac Studio comes with everything you need for $3,999, while the Mac Pro can run about $20,000 with a similar configuration. The recent MacBook Pro with the M1 Max experienced shortages shortly after launch, so the Mac Studio may suffer a similar fate.Īlthough $2,000 separates the Mac Pro and Mac Studio on paper, the reality is the that Mac Pro is significantly more expensive. The Mac Studio is available for pre-order, and Apple says units will start shipping March 18. The Mac Pro is a few years old, so you can order one from Apple’s website right now.
For creative pros looking for peak performance, the Mac Studio with the M1 Ultra looks like a better fit, and it starts at $3,999. The Mac Studio starts at $1,999 with the M1 Max, while the Mac Pro starts at $5,999 for an older Intel Xeon processor and AMD Radeon Pro GPU. One of the largest differences between the Mac Studio and Mac Pro is price. Ahead of the official release, we’re going to compare every aspect of the Mac Studio and Mac Pro so you know which is best for you. It has a lot of overlap with the Mac Pro, which itself is a high-powered desktop aimed at creatives. The display is still a bargain in the pro world when reference monitors frequently costs tens of thousands of dollars, but it's undoubtedly meant for creatives who know exactly what they need and are willing to pay top dollar for it. That's before the infamous $999 stand or a $199 VESA mount adapter.
As promised, the Pro Display XDR is also available in either a $4,999 standard glass version or $5,999 for the version with nano-textured glass that fights reflections. All told, you're looking at close to $53,000 if you max out the system - which we did here.Īnd of course, that's before you get to the screen.
Even those wheels to roll the case around (which won't ship until 6-7 weeks from now) cost $400 for a set of four. It'll cost an additional $7,000 to get that vaunted 28-core 2.5GHz Xeon, and a staggering $25,000 to equip your system with 1.5TB of RAM - and did we mention that you'll need at least a 24-core processor (another $6,000) for that to be an option? The dual Radeon Pro Vega II Duo setup costs $10,800, the Afterburner video accelerator card is another $2,000, and outfitting a 4TB SSD costs $1,400 more. Not surprisingly, upgrading the Mac Pro can get very expensive, very quickly. In a pleasant twist, there's also a rackmount version for servers and other non-desktop uses - it's only listed as "coming soon," but it's poised to start at $6,499. The workstation is available starting at $5,999 with an eight-core 3.5GHz Xeon processor, 32GB of RAM, Radeon Pro 580X graphics and a 256GB solid-state drive. Right on cue, Apple has started taking orders for the redesigned Mac Pro and its optional Pro Display XDR.
