Apple Posts Detailed Technical Overviews of the Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR [Download]

Apple has posted new documents that offer detailed technical overviews of the Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR.

The Mac Pro documentation provides an overview of the product, details the architecture of the processor, memory, graphics, and other components, takes a look at performance, and offers considerations on how to best configure the desktop.

Mac Pro is designed for pros who need the ultimate in CPU performance. From production rendering to playing hundreds of virtual instruments to simulating 
 an iOS app on multiple devices at once, it’s exceedingly capable. At the heart 
 of the system is an Intel Xeon processor with up to 28 cores—the most ever in 
 a Mac. Mac Pro delivers processor performance that’s up to 6.5x faster2 than 
 the previous top-of-the-line 12-core Mac Pro. And for many pros, a high- performance graphics architecture is critical to their workflows, especially for tasks like animating 3D film assets, compositing 8K scenes, and building lifelike gaming environments. Delivering new levels of graphics capability with up to four Radeon Pro Vega II graphics processors, Mac Pro is up to 6.8x faster3 than the dual FirePro D700 graphics in the previous Mac Pro.






Similarly, the Pro Display XDR documentation offers a detailed look at the components of the display, accuracy, reference modes, recalibration, enclosure design, connections, compatibility, and more.

Introducing innovative display technologies, Pro Display XDR sets a new industry standard for incredible reference-quality imaging—1000 nits of sustained full-screen brightness, 1600 nits peak, and a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio at 6K resolution—at a fraction of the size, weight, and price of traditional reference monitors. This makes it possible for all professionals throughout the workflow to view, create, edit, color, animate, and more, with the true-to-life image quality of a reference display.
