This fixes all the things that the 2013 Mac Pro was missing. They added back the PCIe slots so you can use things like SDI cards and third party GPUs. Thunderbolt 3 is actually useful unlike thunderbolt 2. Even simple things like the T2 chip which lets you use the Apple Watch to auth programs like 1Password. Since it's a desktop it beats the 16" MacBook Pro since you can use the whole CPU without it sounding like a jet and getting thermal throttled.

Finally a real Apple desktop
By COLIN E.
This fixes all the things that the 2013 Mac Pro was missing. They added back the PCIe slots so you can use things like SDI cards and third party GPUs. Thunderbolt 3 is actually useful unlike thunderbolt 2. Even simple things like the T2 chip which lets you use the Apple Watch to auth programs like 1Password. Since it's a desktop it beats the 16" MacBook Pro since you can use the whole CPU without it sounding like a jet and getting thermal throttled.
Power to change everything. Say hello to a Mac that is extreme in every way. With the greatest performance, expansion, and configurability yet, it is a system created to let a wide range of professionals push the limits of what is possible.
All-New Design
Function defines form. Every aspect of Mac Pro is designed in pursuit of performance. Built around a stainless steel space frame, an aluminum housing lifts off, allowing 360-degree access to every component and vast configuration. From there anything is possible.
Processor and Memory
Up to 28 cores of power. Create without constraint. Mac Pro is designed for pros who need the ultimate in CPU performance. From production rendering to playing hundreds of virtual instruments to simulating an iOS app on multiple devices at once, it's exceedingly capable. At the heart of the system is an Intel Xeon processor with up to 28 cores - the most ever in a Mac. In addition, large L2 and shared L3 caches and 64 PCI Express lanes provide massive bandwidth in and out of the processor.
Engineered to go all out. All the time. Squeezing every possible ounce of performance out of the processor means giving it a lot of power. In this case, over 300 watts. A massive heat sink keeps the system cool, enabling it to run fully unconstrained. Heat pipes move heat away from the chip, dispersing it along aluminum fin stacks. While three axial fans move air through the system.
Forget everything you know about memory. A multicore workstation processor needs lots of memory to feed it. Featuring six channels of superfast ECC memory and 12 physical DIMM slots, Mac Pro allows for up to 1.5TB of memory. So pros working with large projects, analyzing huge data sets, or running multiple pro applications can make fast work out of all kinds of work. And while typical towers cram memory into hard-to-reach places, Mac Pro utilizes a two-sided logic board, making it easy to access.
Up to 2933MHz DDR4 ECC memory
Up to 140GB/s memory bandwidth
Six-channel memory system
28-core
56 threads
2.5GHz base
4.4GHz turbo boost
66.5MB cache
Expansion
Eight PCI Express expansion slots. Go configure. Mac Pro is designed for pros who need to build high-bandwidth capabilities into their systems. With four double-wide slots, three single-wide slots, and one half-length slot preconfigured with the Apple I/O card, it has twice as many slots as the previous Mac tower. Now you can customize and expand in ways never before possible in a single workstation.
Graphics
Extreme performance. By design. For many pros, a high-performance graphics architecture is critical to their workflows. Especially for tasks like animating 3D film assets, compositing 8K scenes, and building lifelike gaming environments. To give them the highest possible performance and take graphics capabilities to a new level, something groundbreaking was required. Introducing the Mac Pro Expansion Module, or MPX Module.
A second connector. An industry first. The MPX Module starts with an industry-standard PCI Express connector. Then, for the first time in a graphics card, more PCIe lanes integrate Thunderbolt and additional power provided to increase capability. With up to 500 watts, the MPX Module has power capacity equivalent to that of the entire previous-generation Mac Pro.
MPX connector - Up to 475 watts power.
Standard PCI Express x16 - Up to 75 watts power.
Thunderbolt 3 - Up to 40Gb/s data transfer.
Infinity Fabric Link - Up to 5x faster data transfer.
The world's most powerful graphics card. Times two. Taking power one huge step further, Mac Pro supports configuration of two Radeon Pro Vega II Duo MPX Modules. The four GPUs combine to add up to 56 teraflops and 128GB of high-bandwidth memory. It's a massive amount of performance built to tackle everything from GPU rendering to machine learning to particle simulations.
Cool. Quiet. Capable. Most GPUs aren't conceived as part of an overall system, so they require their own cooling. The MPX Module is designed as an integrated component of Mac Pro. Its form factor enables a larger heat sink, which works in concert with the machine's internal airflow to quietly dissipate heat. Without a noisy bolted-on fan, heat and decibel levels are kept remarkably low.
Radeon Pro Vega II Duo
The world's most powerful graphics card, optimal for demanding multi-GPU pro applications.
Two MPX Module - four GPUs
56.6 teraflops single precision
113.3 teraflops half precision
128GB of HBM2 memory
1TB/s memory bandwidth each
Security and Storage
Security taken to new heights. Mac Pro is the most secure tower we've ever built. A Secure Enclave coprocessor provides the foundation for encrypted storage and secure boot capabilities. So you can worry less about protecting your work, code, and intellectual property. And focus more on doing your best thinking.
Apple T2 Security Chip. Data on Mac Pro is protected by the Apple T2 Security Chip. It integrates a Secure Enclave coprocessor and discrete controllers into a single chip. It also ensures that the lowest levels of software aren't tampered with and that only operating system software trusted by Apple loads at startup.
Up to 8TB storage. To deliver the fastest possible performance, Mac Pro is built on an all-flash storage architecture. It starts with a 256GB SSD and is configurable to a 1TB, 2TB, 4TB, or 8TB SSD - all encrypted by the T2 chip.
High-Speed Connections
Powerful I/O at hand. Mac Pro has extremely high-performance I/O, and lots of it. It begins with four Thunderbolt 3 ports, two USB-A ports, and two 10Gb Ethernet ports. And with every MPX Module you add you get more capability. Connect up to 12 4K displays or up to six Pro Display XDRs from Apple and see your work with over 120 million pixels. It's now easy to expand at will.
Rear expansion. With up to 12 Thunderbolt 3 ports, Mac Pro doesn't just have room for more ports than any Mac, it integrates them elegantly with each new module added.
Top case. Two convenient ports on the top allow quick and easy connections to your Thunderbolt 3-compatible devices.
Rack Mount (Optional)
Different form. Same powerful factors. Mac Pro is also available in a rack mount - with all the same performance features and configuration options as the tower - for spaces better suited to a rack design. The rack mount features the airflow-maximizing 3D lattice and stainless steel handles on the front and tool-less stainless steel slide rails in place of feet or optional wheels.
- Magic Mouse 2 -
Magic Mouse 2 is completely rechargeable, so you'll eliminate the use of traditional batteries. It's lighter, has fewer moving parts thanks to its built-in battery and continuous bottom shell, and has an optimized foot design - all helping Magic Mouse 2 track easier and move with less resistance across your desk. And the Multi-Touch surface allows you to perform simple gestures such as swiping between web pages and scrolling through documents. Magic Mouse 2 is ready to go right out of the box and pairs automatically with your Mac.
- Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad -
Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad features an extended layout, with document navigation controls for quick scrolling and full-size arrow keys for gaming. A scissor mechanism beneath each key allows for increased stability, while optimized key travel and a low profile provide a comfortable and precise typing experience. The numeric keypad is also great for spreadsheets and finance applications. And the built-in, rechargeable battery is incredibly long-lasting, powering your keyboard for about a month or more between charges.
