Apple’s ultimate computer – providing the user with as much power and resources as possible, ideal for those who do not need the portability of the MacBook Pro. The Mac Pro is a popular machine within production studios and live streaming companies for its ability to be easily configured and applications that use multiple cores such as video-editing, image-editing software and 3D programs.
Similar to it’s predecessor, the Mac Pro 7.1 is powered by Intel Xeon W processors up to 28 cores for the best performance you can get. These features include Hyper-Threading which allows two threads to run simultaneously on each core and Turbo Boost.
With configurable memory up to 1.5TB of DDR4 ECC memory with easy to access slots (requires a 24-core or 28-core processor) the Mac Pro is a pioneer of customization for end-game users who need serious power and performance.
