Maxed-out Apple Silicon Mac Pro costs 1/4 what a maxed Intel one did
macxpress said:killroy said:darkvader said:Less RAM, no GPU upgrades.NOT impressed. Honestly not even sure why Apple bothered.
No GPU upgrades yet. 2 16 Lane Double wide PCIe 4 slots only need Drivers for GPU cards
So why put an 1400 watt power supply in. Until Apple say what they have coming your just spitting in the wind. -
Apple Silicon Mac Pro debut finally ends transition away from Intel processors

$1k more expensive, lower RAM ceiling, and no word on MPX compatibility (they aren't offered as options when ordering). Disappointing, but not exactly surprising. They probably only released it because they plan to use the rackmount version themselves for Xcode Cloud, as I said.
But there are 2 double wide 16X PCie 4 slots. So all you need is drivers for any graphic cards. There are no MPX power connections, so you will need to use the AUX power connections with cables.
