We are all excited and nervous about the next Mac Pro- could have some announcement soon.

what do you feel like it should have and why? Apple silicon version

For me, pcie slots are still essential

Unless the GPU is at least on the level of a w6800x Duo, some type of MPX support too

Ram I’m ok with a max well under the fire t Mac pro, but still 256 at least would be nice


The m1 MacBook Pro certainly indicates a positive direction that could reveal some stellar performance in a Big Mac Pro offering.

What do you guys think?

I would expect WWDC this year at the earliest, and most likely a preview with actual availability at the end of 2022...

Apple could offer two to four PCIe slots, mainly for the audio folks; they could also offer a singular PCIe Gen4 (maybe even Gen5) x16 edge connector, for use with an optional PCIe expansion chassis...

Apple silicon GPUs are part of the SoCs now, no more discrete GPUs, so no need for MPX slots...

I am hoping Apple will be the first with LPDDR5X:
  • 64GB per chip maximum density
  • pin-compatible with LPDDR5
  • 33% faster
  • 20% less power usage
This would allow:
  • Single SoC = 256GB RAM / 500GB/s UMA
  • Dual SoC = 512GB RAM / 1TB/s UMA
  • Quad SoC = 1TB RAM / 2TB/s UMA
What do you guys think?
I look forward to the new ASi Mac Pro Cube...!
