Apple's annual developer's conference was only its first day, but it wowed fans with all the latest devices unveiled, including a new Mac Pro computer.
In this latest release from Apple, the Mac Pro, retaining its famous "cheese grater" design, is now paired with the M2 Ultra, the company's fastest processor yet. The Mac Pro comes alongside the new version of the Mac Studio, another Apple CPU that saw an upgrade this year, and both devices are now up for pre-orders, with availability starting on June 13.
Apple Mac Pro with M2 Ultra Launches at WWDC 2023
During Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2023 on Monday, the tech giant made a groundbreaking announcement, revealing the latest addition to its flagship desktop computer, the Mac Pro. Boasting unparalleled power and performance, the new Mac Pro is set to redefine the boundaries of computing with its cutting-edge features, including the industry-leading M2 Ultra chip and advanced expansion capabilities.
The highlight of the new Mac Pro is undoubtedly the M2 Ultra chip, which represents Apple's most powerful and efficient silicon yet. The 24-core CPU and 60-core GPU combination ensure lightning-fast processing and unrivaled graphics capabilities. That makes it a true powerhouse for professionals working with resource-intensive tasks such as video editing, 3D rendering, and machine learning.
To complement the immense processing power, the Mac Pro also comes with 64 GB of onboard memory, which can be expanded up to an impressive 192 GB. This ample memory capacity ensures seamless multitasking and smooth operation even with the most demanding workflows.
Additionally, the Mac Pro features a 1 TB solid-state drive (SSD) for lightning-fast storage access, with the option to upgrade to 8 TB. Apple has integrated PCIe gen4 expansion slots into the Mac Pro in a move catering to professionals requiring specialized workflows.

Apple Sells the Mac Pro for $6,999: Is It Worth It?
However, the remarkable power and features of the new Mac Pro come with a huge price tag. With a starting price of $6,999, it is the most expensive computer in Apple's lineup.
The hefty price of the Mac Pro is only a starter for its basic capabilities and performance, meaning that more can be achieved by customizing one's order. With its base specs alone, Apple has already made it an indispensable tool for professionals in industries where efficiency and power are paramount.
Still, there are cheaper options here, particularly the Mac Studio, which is only a third of its price, with a notable capability to carry out heavy tasks.
Apple Mac Pro and its Silicon Chip
More than four years have passed since the last Mac Pro, and it was introduced to the world as the most powerful Mac from the company yet. It was first made available in late 2019. Leaks have speculated the Mac Pro to have an upgrade since then, for each year, but the one that hit the mark was for 2023, hinting that a Silicon-based device would arrive.
It may be one of the most expensive computers in its current lineup, but it promises an unparalleled experience for users and would be something for those who can afford it. As the Mac Pro becomes available, professionals across various industries will get a chance to get this powerhouse machine to enhance their productivity and creativity powered by Apple's M-series.
