The Mac Pro no one wanted...

Показать описание
Apple announced a lot of things today. $3499 headset that will be talked about to no end for the next forever, new MacBook Air, new Mac studio, iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, and macOS updates, and the thing I was most interested in, the Mac Pro 2023 or Apple Silicon Mac Pro or the Mac Pro 8,1.

My Patreon:

This $6999 monstrosity is massive, and I do mean massive, ask for buyers. Its shelf is whatever Apple decides it is, unlike previous Mac Pros, and while it has PCIe slots.... they come at a price.

Here's my reaction as a Mac Pro guy in what must be record time for me. It really didn't feel like a developer conference at all, just a product showcase, but it's been that way for a while now.

My hunch is this will be the last Mac Pro model that we see produced. It's just not going to be a viable option with the SoC architecture, nor profitable. They should've just kept it as the only Intel model in their lineup and updated the 2019 specs.

Long live the 5, 1 Cheesegrater. We’ll keep them going as long as we can.

Nice opportunity for third-party metal-bashers: make a nice brushed aluminium cheese-grater box with a rack inside for a Mac Studio and a bunch of slots for M.2 SSDs on Thunderbolt adapters, or maybe even a complete NAS unit. The money saved on not paying the Apple SSD tax and just going with the minimum internal to the Studio should easily cover the cost of the box, never mind the $3000 tax on the Mac Pro!

You forgot to mention $1000 for the cheese grater.

It’s not too bad but I didn’t really expect anything else. I’m glad they upgraded the Studio too which I think I will choose over the Pro only because I got used to not caring about internal expansion after upgrading my cMP to a M1 MacBook Pro which was powerful enough to keep me going and I quite liked having a self contained unit. Part of me is curious about what possible upgrades there might be for the new Mac Pro years down the line like there was for the Mac Pro I bought new oh so many years ago but it’s not smart to buy something on the off chance it might be hacked or patched into something amazing years later. 😅

The last Mac Pro was made in 2012. Nothing that has come since has been worthy of the moniker and have been Mac Pros in name only.
The latest model is a joke.

They’ll be killing the Mac Pro in a few years. This was just to “say” we made a apple silicon Mac Pro.

You could see Mac Pro 5.1 and even a trashcan in almost every music/video production studio, it was an industry standard and a dream for every indy creator. But now this niche is totally lost by Apple. A Mac Studio with some extra storage via Thunderbolt is an absolutely identical thing for much cheaper. I will miss Mac Pro, spent a decade enjoying the reliability and power of this amazing machine. But now it's so hard to imagine a scenario where it's worth buying. Bye-bye, the legend. 
P.S. Greg, thanks for the nice video, informative as usual.

The tower Mac Pro presented today, is just a "stop gap" measure. There was a design error with the 5nm M-1 processor chips where, when they are doubled their performance goes up only by about half. Go from a base model M1 to a M1 pro (is a 50 percent increase); then go from a M1 pro to a M1 Max (is now a 25 percent increase); then go from M1 max to M1 Ultra (is now a 12 percent increase). So, last year when the M1 Extreme was shown to Tim Cook, it was only 6 percent better than a M1 Ultra processor. This kind of put Apple, Inc. into a box when it came to the tower Mac Pro. I am sure, once the new 4nm or 3 nm processor chips arrive the Mac Studio and tower Mac Pro models will each have different processors (smile...smile).

the 2023 mac pro is exactly what I wanted and need for my computing tasks (3D medical imaging), a >20 core apple silicon cpu with PCIe slots!

Why didn’t they just make a Mac Studio tower and leave the Mac Pro name behind?

I also have noticed announcements of the new Apple Mac Pro Computer. Since Apple company is now using System on a Chip architecture the prospective buyer will need to carefully consider the equipment options when ordering this computer because, like other Apple products, it is not upgradeable. The System on a Chip architecture does make for a faster more powerful computer, but now memory, video, and cpu's are no longer upgradeable.

It's been confirmed that the Mac Pro 2023 will not support 3rd party GPUs by Apple.
