Apple's updated MacPro looks like a massive leap forward in performance, but it abandons what made the last-gen model so impressive.
After four long years of waiting, Apple has finally transitioned its Mac Pro away from Intel processors. Now, the M2 Ultra is powering the workstation, and even without concrete benchmarks, there’s little doubt that the Mac Pro will clobber the previous generation. But it unfortunately also lacks everything that made the previous generation so impressive.
Related Apple says that the M2 Ultra is up to three times faster than the fastest Intel-based Mac Pro overall, and up to seven times faster than the starting configuration of the previous Intel-based Mac Pro. That’s not really saying much, though. Even the $600 M2 Mac Mini beats the previous-gen Mac Pro into the ground.
There are exceptions, however. The median score for the 38-core M2 Max in Blender is 1,918. Double that, and you’re around 4,000, which is slower than even the RTX 4060 Ti. The RTX 4090, for reference, cracks 13,000. With the 2019 Mac Pro, you didn’t have the same flexibility to upgrade as a PC, but Apple made an effort with its MPX modules. These expensive upgrades would slot into open PCIe slots, allowing you to upgrade the graphics card or add a RAID array to your Mac Pro. You could even upgrade the RAM in the 2019 Mac Pro, which is an idea Apple has abandoned with the 2023 model.
