The creative pro powerhouse
Creative professionals, get ready to have your socks blown off by the Mac Pro. With high performance, flexibility and massive scope for configuration, it’s the ultimate workstation for tackling the most demanding tasks, transforming 8K video editing, music composition, 3D animation, and games and app design workflows.
Up to 28 cores of processing power
and eight PCIe expansion slots
Up to 2933MHz DDR4 ECC memory
in a six channel memory system.
Up to 140GBps
memory bandwidth
Completely customisable
to suit your workflow
“Mac Pro 2019 is silent and so much faster at rendering than our last model. We have to deliver long form broadcast documentary work with tight turnarounds, so the fact that I rarely have to wait for processing time while grading saves hours over the course of a month. And processing a final broadcast master once the grade is complete is 6-10 times faster than on our previous Macs.”
Darren Mostyn, Online Creative
The Mac Pro you have been waiting for
Up to 28 cores (the most ever in a Mac), large L2 and shared L3 caches and 64 PCI Express lanes give huge bandwidth in and out of the processor. Six channels of super-fast ECC memory and 12 physical DIMM slots allow for up to 1.5TB of memory. Mac Pro’s Afterburner hardware accelerator card can process up to 6.3 billion pixels per second and is capable of handling up to three streams of 8K ProRes RAW or 12 streams of 4K ProRes RAW, so you can free up cores for even more effects and processing.
Graphics-wise, the Mac Pro packs a real punch – the MPX Module with Radeon Pro Vega II gives up to 14 teraflops of compute performance, 32GB of memory and 1TBps of memory bandwidth. Take it even further by combining two Radeon Pro Vega II GPUs to create the Vega II Duo, the world’s most powerful graphics card.
“When I’m working with Pro Tools Ultimate the track count is unbelievable. I can now have a huge session running hundreds of tracks, each stacked with plug-ins, and my Mac Pro’s not even getting near its capacity. The most I’ve had it running at is 32% capacity.”
Rich Evans, Syncbox
Customised to you and your work
Most exciting of all is Mac Pro’s design and immense capacity for configuration. Built around a stainless steel space frame, that beautiful aluminium casing is easily removed to allow 360-degree access to every component. The lightweight lattice pattern maximises airflow, while three fans and a blower keep the CPU and GPUs cool and running quietly under the most intensive workloads.
Mac Pro offers up to 4TB of onboard storage built on an all-flash storage architecture for the fastest possible performance, and is all encrypted by Apple’s T2 Security Chip. Four Thunderbolt 3 ports, two USB-A ports and two 10GB Ethernet ports (and even more capability with every MPX Module you add) means you can connect up to 12 4K displays or up to six Pro Display XDRs.
The Mac Pro is everything professional users could ask for in a workstation – and then some.

“When the new Mac Pro became available we had no hesitation in investing in them for our fleet, and we will continue to add more as we move forward. They are incredibly powerful machines and enable our Avid Media Composer, Adobe Creative Cloud and Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve clients to work faster than ever before thanks to incredible processing and huge amounts of RAM!”
Nick Long, Salon
Mac Pro at: Red Facilities
From tracklaying, looping and mixing commercials to sourcing VO talent, ADR and podcast production, Edinburgh’s Red Facilities offer an end to end service for audio production and post. The key to providing such a wide range of services? Amazing onsite talent armed with the power of Mac Pro, says founding partner Max Howarth…
“As a busy post-production studio we’re always looking to streamline workflows and create deliverables as efficiently as possible. Video podcasts, independent film mixes and 4K video projects were having an impact on the day to day audio post work, so we knew it was time to make the jump to the latest Mac Pros.
“We had high expectations and we haven’t been disappointed. Video rendering and grading have really sped up, as well as large audio project exports. These things free up more time for us to work creatively without impacting our budget, so we’re happy and our clients are happy. The Mac Pros are rock solid, run virtually silently and are a thing of architectural beauty inside and out. It’s just a shame they sit in a cabinet under the desk!”
Mac Pro at: The Forge
The Forge is a London-based facility that focuses on product-based advertising for luxury brands. Founder Jean-Michel Massey explains why Mac Pro is The Forge’s first choice for post-production…
“The 2019 Mac Pro is the ultimate machine for professional post. With it, we’re able to deliver projects faster, work more efficiently, and gain time in each working day. It’s a stunning, silent workhorse – when the lockdown forced staff to work from home, many set up their Mac Pro in their bedroom, and it was quiet enough that they could sleep through the night while their machines churned out the latest renders. And it’s powerful enough to serve our post-production department for years to come.”
“The 2019 Mac Pro has allowed us to keep the simplicity and efficiency we have come to enjoy but with much better speeds than we've ever been able to achieve before. We regularly shoot and grade on film at 4K and 2K. The live playback and render speeds on the heavy de-noising required for these projects has improved enormously since we upgraded, making our work much easier and far more efficient.”
