Title: Apple finally refreshes the Mac Pro, but the model you want isn't coming this year Post by: HCK on April 06, 2017, 04:05:14 pm Apple finally refreshes the Mac Pro, but the model you want isn't coming this year
<article> <section class="page"> <p>No three words will stop a Mac user in their tracks faster than these: Mac Pro update. It’s been more than three years (http://www.macworld.com/article/2101742/macs/mac-pro-6-core-review-3999-mac-pro-is-an-impressive-computer.html) since Apple last paid any attention to its desktop tower, and users have been anxiously awaiting an upgrade. However, while Apple indeed announced a refresh Tuesday morning, the real news is about what’s coming down the road.</p><p>First, the new specs: Apple is still offering two base models of Mac Pro at $2,999 and $3,999. The lower-end model jumps from from a quad-core Xeon CPU to a 6-core one, and gets dual G500 GPUs (an upgrade over the G300 GPUs), while the step-up model gets an 8-core CPU (up from 6) and dual D700 GPUs (up from the D500). That’s it. There’s no USB-C and no Thunderbolt 3, which means it still won’t be able to run the LG UltraFine 5K display (http://www.macworld.com/article/3169308/macs/apple-stores-stop-selling-the-lg-ultrafine-5k-display-after-wi-fi-interference-issues.html).</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3187450/os-x/apple-finally-refreshes-the-mac-pro-but-the-model-you-want-isnt-coming-this-year.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Apple finally refreshes the Mac Pro, but the model you want isn't coming this year (http://www.macworld.com/article/3187450/os-x/apple-finally-refreshes-the-mac-pro-but-the-model-you-want-isnt-coming-this-year.html#tk.rss_all) |
