So same CPU, GPU.
Outside of the afterburners and the ability to expand (Studio has room to upgrade using hubs etc) .. what's the reason for nearly 3 x the price? #Underwhelmed

That’s pretty cool. And I can still use my current mpx modules.
Wonder what limitations the PCIe slots will have, like, can I slap a real GPU in this thing or is there still going to no support similar to how eGPUs have been abandoned with Apple Silicon.
Zzzzzzzz. Unimpressive with just an M2 in it. No add-in accelerator cards, etc? Not a lot to get excited about here.
There was no mention of GPU, nearest was Video Input card, ie Black magic. If wanting eGPU or internal AMD/Nvidia GPU cards then shocker but nothing there.
Really disappointing IMO. It’s literally a Studio with PCIe slots. And they raised the price! Apple Silicon was suppose to provide better value than Intel. GPU and memory upgrades gone! I think 7,1 values just went up.
That is my assumption as well, nothing, which is a real shame might finally force me to abandon the Mac platform. Been holding out with 2018 mini with eGPU waiting to see if something came along to provide real GPU support but looking like it'll never happen if this doesn't.
And "only" 192gb memory... I wonder how long they can "extend and glue" these chips together and not loose the performance gain......
Economies of scale. A lot of users do not need/want PCIe slots.The Pci tax
That's why 2013 Mac Pro came about & 2023 Mac Studios was created.
Very disappointing. Same design, RAM has gone from 1.5 TB to 0.2 TB, no ability to add graphics cards. It’s Mac Studio with card support.
Yeah, sure, i get it. Let's see how the machine purrs with the right (if the same as mp 2019) cooling, there should be not a hint of throttling at all....if I remember well, there was a video (
to be suspended indefinitely in a year?
Presumably they know that
Presumably the 1.5 TB RAM capacity of the current model is only relevant for a tiny proportion of Mac Pro customers though. I imagine Apple probably believes (perhaps based on actual device telemetry) that 192GB RAM covers a significant proportion (maybe even the majority) of Mac Pro use cases.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 well looks like my 2019 Mc pro will be my last, No PCIe GPU support is the killer. So no upgrade's possible, like the 5.1 CPU, memory, GPU. 2019 CPU, memory, GPU the new Mac pro Naff all to upgrade, just buy a new one when its updated Apple have really turned into a apple only eco system.
Apple have really turned into a apple only eco system.
So... Z8 / Z6, or Lenovo PX / P7, and Linux?
Yeah, there's ZERO proof the MaxTech claim has any basis in reality. There's no proof there's any thermal throttling and I highly doubt the MP M2 Ultra will perform any better than the Studio M2 Ultra
So we went from the Cheesegrater to the Trash can to the Cheesegrater 2 to the new M2 Mac Pro.
The new M2 Mac Pro is a trash compactor
