At long last, Apple has finally moved all its Mac products away from Intel chips into its own silicon. As announced today at WWDC 2023, Apple officially announced the latest Mac Pro featuring the higher-end ARM-based silicon in the M2-series of system on a chip.
The Mac Pro, like the recently-announced Mac Studio, maintains the same exterior, which resembles something more of a cheese grater than that of a desktop computer. The big changes come from the inside, where the Mac Pro includes the M2 Ultra.
Mac Pro with M2 Ultra offers six open PCIe Gen 4 slots for those that want to expand the storage and it will include eight built-in Thunderbolt ports; six of which are on the back and two are at the top. This is twice as many as there were on the previous Intel-based Mac Pro.
The announcement is long overdue, as Apple previously made a self-imposed deadline that it would transition all of its Macs away from Intel to its own in-house silicon within two years of the M1 chip's reveal.
The Mac Pro starts at $6999, with preorders starting today and will release next week. Pricing will vary depending on the configurations, which users can configure the Mac Pro with up to a 76-core GPU and 192GB of memory.
