About this Mac Pro

Apple launched the Mac Pro 28-Core 2.5 GHz Rack model on June 3, 2019. This model has identical internals to its tower variant but has a different Rack-Mountable case design. These models are more expensive than their tower counterparts, with the capability to slide into a 5U rack.

The Apple Mac Pro 28-core (2019) features an Intel Xeon W (3275M) processor with 28 cores, multithreading support, and a base clock speed of 2.5 GHz (boostable to 4.4 GHz with Turbo Boost). It features a 66.5 MB cache and a T2 security chip. It includes an AMD Radeon Pro W5500X graphics card with 8 GB GDDR6 memory, 32 GB DDR4 ECC RAM (2933 MHz), and a 512 GB SSD (3.4 GB/s). This model also allows users to upgrade RAM and add more storage.

This Mac Pro 2019 model comes with a sleek Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse 2, with an option for Magic Trackpad 2, offering smooth input options for users. It offers multiple connectivity options: 2 USB 3.0, 4 Thunderbolt 3, 2 HDMI 2.0, 2 10 Gb Ethernet, and a headphone jack. The device also supports wireless standards 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0, allowing connectivity expansion through PCIe slots.\
