On June 5, Apple unveiled the company’s new Mac Pro to the world. The most powerful computer showed her letters and made us see why it has the last name Pro. So Pro is that the American company has done it so that she and only she is the one who provides the graphic capacity to this computer. With the M2 chip everything is anchored and focused on it. In such a way that thanks to it you can get up to 76 GPU cores and up to 192 GB of unified memory. Considering these data, don’t wonder why it has up to 6 PCIe slots because none of them is for a graphic from a third company.
The new Mac Pro is a riot of technology and capabilities. Let’s remember that we got to have 24 cores, which are divided into 16 power cores and 8 efficiency cores. which includes thanks to m2, a graphics card with 76 graphics cores and a total of 32 dedicated cores for AI. It supports RAM modules up to 192 GB with a bandwidth of up to 800 GB/s. And it has 6 PCIe slots but in which new graphics cannot be integrated.
According to Apple, in those slots we can install:
- Digital signal processing (DSP) cards.
- Serial digital interface (SDI) I/O cards.
- Expansion of network connectivity.
- Additional high-speed storage.
This could make you think that perhaps the M2 did not give so much. Nothing could be further from the truth. The fundamental reason is that Apple does not want that there are compatibilities with other graphics. The head of hardware engineering has explained it this way:
…we’ve built our architecture around this shared memory model and that optimization so It’s not entirely clear to me how I would bring another GPU and do it in a way that’s optimized for our systems…
