About this Mac

The Mac Pro in 2012 had some differences from its predecessors but was certainly packed with more power to drive your work. The differences include its Turbo Boost capacity from 3.2 GHz to up to 3.46 GHz. Also, there was the disappearance of the FireWire “400” ports but not a reduction in the overall number of FireWire ports as the two FireWire “400” ports were replaced by 2 more FireWire “800” ports, a similar exercise was carried out on the PCIe expansion slots as four PCI e 2.0 slots (one free PCIe 2.0 x16 slot and two free PCIe 2.0 x4 slots with the default single graphics card installed). The Mac Pro was still the most expensive of all products but its price was worth the quality of the machine.

Common questions

Is MKGR3LL/A the same as A2442?

Not exactly. MKGR3LL/A usually points to a specific retail configuration, while A2442 identifies the broader Apple hardware family. Always check the EMC and model identifier too.

What Mac Pro is model A2442?

A2442 is the Apple A-number shown for this Mac Pro family. Use the order number, EMC, and model identifier on this page to narrow the exact configuration.

What does EMC 3650 mean?

The EMC number is another Apple hardware identifier. It helps separate closely related models that may share a similar name, year, or A-number.

Can the RAM or SSD be upgraded?

Check the spec table for the exact configuration. Many newer Apple Silicon Macs have memory and storage integrated into the board, so RAM and SSD upgrades are often not practical after purchase.

What macOS versions work with this model?

Use the model identifier, release year, and processor family from the spec table when checking macOS compatibility. Compatibility can change as Apple releases new macOS versions.

What should I search if this page is not the exact configuration?
