Apple has done some engineering magic to cool the backlight enough to let the display produce 1,000 nits of sustained brightness, but it's a delicate balance, and one that won't handle hot environments well.

This will likely be a noticeable issue on a 6K display, where the 32-inch panel boasts 20.4 million pixels. The Pro Display XDR's display has 576 individually controlled LEDs for backlighting, but Apple warns that light blooming may still be an issue, especially for fine details.This can also be disabled in the display preferences in macOS. The Pro Display XDR has ambient light sensors on the front and back of the monitor, and Apple's True Tone automatic picture adjustment will change the HDR tone mapping, backlight brightness, content black level, and white point accordingly. Be careful with any lighting on your desk.If you want to skip Apple's pricey monitor stand and mount the display yourself, you'll still need to shell out a couple hundred bucks for Apple's VESA mount adapter. The monitor uses a proprietary magnetic mount, which pairs with the elegant (but insanely expensive) Pro Stand that Apple sells separately for $1,000.Visual pros will also want to take a look at the information Apple provides about reference modes and equipment compatibility.īut, just like the Mac Pro, the Pro Display XDR's impressive technical capabilities come with some tradeoffs and limitations. The white paper shares all sorts of technical information about the Pro Display XDR, from the port layout to the timing controller that handles refresh rate and backlighting. Apple is counting on the greater overall horsepower of the higher core counts to make up for any performance impact, but not every use case will scale the same way.

At the top configurations, it's a trade-off between multithreaded performance and top clock speed, with a drop "from 3.3GHz for the 12-core to 2.5GHz for the 28-core" processor options.

Will we see a water-cooled Apple desktop option this year? Maybe. But since the Mac Pro has a modular design with some room to grow, it's entirely possible that Apple-approved alternatives show up for users that want something more substantial. Behind the cheese grater grille is a trio of fans pushing air through the chassis.

Apple uses custom modules for the graphics cards in the Mac Pro, and a lot of that space is for air cooling.

Depending upon the processor, you could actually ramp it up to 2TB of memory, but you'd wind up with unbalanced DIMM allocations, and you might not see any additional improvements in performance.

The 1.5TB limit on RAM isn't a hard and fast rule.

And that's before Apple adds the Afterburner video processor, a bit of custom hardware from Apple that can chew through 6 billion pixels per second, including three simultaneous streams of ProRes raw footage at 8K resolution, or 12 simultaneous 4K streams. Even simple aspects of the system can be maxed out to crazy levels, like 4TB of solid-state storage, and up to 1.5TB of memory – twelve slots, each boasting 128GB DIMMs.īut it gets even more impressive with the Mac Pro's 28-core Intel Xeon W 3200 processor, and two AMD Radeon Pro Vega II Duo graphics cards, effectively giving you four GPUs to work with. The Mac Pro isn't just the most powerful desktop Apple has ever made, it's one of the most powerful machines you can buy.
