Apple to Release Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR on December 10

[MacRumors]

Apple plans to release the new Mac Pro and the Pro Display XDR on Tuesday, December 10, according to "Save the Date" emails that Apple began sending out to some customers this afternoon.

Apple in November confirmed that the Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR would come in December, but until now, the company had not provided a specific date. Apple's emails say orders will begin on December 10, so presumably shipments will begin soon after orders open up.

The new modular Mac Pro was first introduced in June at the WorldWide developers Conference, with the machine aimed at Apple's pro user base.

The Mac Pro was designed with a heavy focus on upgradeability and expansion, and it features a traditional PC shape with an Apple-esque stainless steel frame with a lattice pattern that maximizes airflow.

Internal specs include workstation-class Xeon processors with up to 28 cores, up to 1.5TB of high-performance memory, up to two Radeon Pro II Duo GPUs, and eight PCIe expansion slots, along with an Apple Afterburner accelerator card.

Pricing on the Mac Pro will start at $6,000, and will go up based on configuration. The base Mac Pro features an 8-core Xeon W chip.

Apple plans to sell the Mac Pro alongside the Pro Display XDR, a 6K display with a resolution of 6016 x 3384 and more than 20 million pixels. Pricing on the Pro Display XDR starts at $5,000, with an add-on stand priced at $999.

(Thanks, Ryan!)

Finally. All several hundred people can buy the Pro and we can stop hearing about “when will they update it”

"Save the Date"... "your credit card is about to take a massive pounding."

 

[Vasilioskn]

I for one can’t wait to see how well it grates cheese!!

 

[fmcshan]

Wow, it's finally almost here! I honestly thought the Mac Pro would launch closer to the end of the month.

"I'll take monitor stands that cost $1,000, Alex."

 

[ilikewhey]

Made in Merica

The rumor says iPad pro 2020 and mbp 2020 will feature mini led. Previous rumor indicates there will be 10,000+ LEDs in those displays, so technically pro display XDR will be out featured within a year?
Also, Asus has a 32'' with 1000+ LEDs, the light leak still exist at areas with a black background and bright icons/ taskbars. Don't think PDX can solve this problem.

Wonder if they’ll walk back the whole $999 stand thing

 

[Apples Apples Everywhere]

In for one despite the Cybertruck appearance factor.



I would have bet money the launch was going to be the last day of fall on 12/21.

I guess this will be my first Mac that doesn’t ship via Alaska.

 

[realtuner]

Meh.

I can build my own using parts from Newegg for half the price and it’ll be twice as fast. /s

 

[mannyvel]

Just in time for my 179 deduction!

 

[gugy]

Finally some news.
Not like I’ll be able to afford it anyways. A base workstation with display will be around $14k. Ouch.
i hope I can qualify for a 24m 0% interest. That way, maybe.

Finally! It’s seriously the device that hundreds of thousands (dare I say millions?) of Pro filmmakers across the world have been asking for non-stop for the last 6 years. Can’t wait!

Its worth pointing out, 999$ isn’t crazy for what it is. It’s just ... maybe not marketing’s finest hour over there

 

[D.T.]

I will __finally__ have adequate performance for posting updates on Facebook ...

Heh, Since 2013 those film makers have been using PC's, since the trashcan Mac Pro was so... Trash.

 

[MacLawyer]

Great. Now I just need to find a bank to rob. ?

 

[H. Flower]

For the love of God, finally.

 

[iCamera]

I was excited to see an update but at 5k starting price point, which more than average Joe, can afford this except for the very wealthy and professionals who would buy this equipment though their businesses. It is sad but never the less a great product they can be proud of at Apple.

 

[xnu]

omg, omg, omg, omg, omg, I just peed a little. 9 days early! I haven't been this excited since, well 2013.

 

[multipasser]

Who cares when there is no Cuda support?

 

[MadDawg2020]

Meh.

I can build my own using parts from Newegg for half the price and it’ll be twice as fast. /s

Yeah okay - good luck with that!

 

[ksec]

Really interested in the Pro Display XDR. Cant wait for the review to come out.

 

[MGrayson3]

Meh.

Really? Wow!
