Over $50k when maxed out with a 28 core processor and 1.5TB of RAM.
- jmull 7y agoI only want one that's $16K, which includes a monitor. What a deal!
- saberience 7y agoFor those interested in "max specs": 2.5GHz 28‑core Intel Xeon W processor, Turbo Boost up to 4.4GHz 1.5TB (12x128GB) of DDR4 ECC memory Two Radeon Pro Vega II Duo with 2x32GB of HBM2 memory each 4TB SSD storage

From there, if you tack on the Magic Mouse 2 and Magic Trackpad 2 combo, you can get a maximum price of $52,748.
- macjohnmcc 7y agoOnce you hit $25K or more you should get a complimentary keyboard and mouse.
- bdcravens 7y agoAll Mac Pros include a Magic Mouse and Magic Keyboard. You just have to pay more if want a Magic Trackpad.
- marcoseliziario 7y agoConsider yourself lucky they still include a power cable in the box.
- nvahalik 7y agoYes, but what about the Pro Displays??
- nine_k 7y agoIt looks as if Apple took a page from a book of medical device manufacturers.
- bobobooey 7y agoMine came out to only $40k
- PopeDotNinja 7y agoI punched in Barrow, Alaska (aka way up north), and the shipping is free. I'm mildly surprised they don't find a way to charge triple for mandatory delivery by reindeer or something.
- dylz 7y agoThey already do free 1-2 hour delivery for $500 iPhones.
- woodrowbarlow 7y agooh, neat, really? a month ago i drove 30min to an apple store, said "i want to buy that", and was told i would need to wait 45min for the next available sales representative. strange to think i could've had it in my hands faster by ordering online.
- dylz 7y agoThey seem to use Postmates as their delivery partner, which amuses me a bit. The subreddit for drivers has all sorts of puzzled and annoyed posts about it, like customers not expecting someone from PM and turning them away or ignoring them
- japhyr 7y agoBarrow (Utqiagvik now) has daily jet service. Try Selawik or Angoon if you want to see if free shipping applies to remote villages.
- PopeDotNinja 7y agoYup. Free shipping to Selawik & Angoon! Whether those locations can supply enough electricity to run this monster is another conversation :)
- TimTheTinker 7y agoA similar (but slower) workstation from Dell (28C Xeon 8180, 2.5 GHz/3.8GHz turbo) tops out at $49k: https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/workstations-isv-certified/precision-7920-tower-workstation/spd/precision-7920-workstation/xctopt7920us_3 https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/workstations-isv-certif... Also note this configuration from Dell uses 24x64GB memory sticks. If configured for equivalency with the Mac Pro (12x128GB) it tops out at $70k. (12 sticks isn't superior to 24; actually, 24 is theoretically better because it is more parallelized, but only if the processors and system bus can handle the full theoretical bandwidth of that much memory...)
- Scipio_Afri 7y agoSo never buy a high end computer, build it yourself.
- toasterlovin 7y agoIf you're doing something professionally that actually requires a $50k computer, your hourly rate is so insanely high that there's no way it makes financial sense to build and repair a computer like that on your own.
- stagger87 7y agoThe markup on these types of PC's is ~100%. If you needed to build even a few of these per year, the savings in buying the components yourself would pay for an employee to maintain them, (not even including the deep discount you could get negotiating prices on high end parts from a vendor). Not that you would even need a full time employee to maintain them...
- Scipio_Afri 7y agoThat was my point, the markup is insane for it to be $50k.
- mc32 7y agoPlus you want the 4-4hr warranty support for bad components. And with Dell you’re not paying full price as an ENT customer.
- dcolkitt 7y agoIt looks like Apple's marking up the upgrades by a little over 100%. For example the 28-core CPU adds $7k and costs about $3200 retail. The 128GB memory adds $25k and costs about $12k retail.
- wmf 7y agoNo, they're using a $7K M SKU (whether you need it or not).
- chx 7y agoAn AMD EPYC workstation with dual 7402 processors (2.8/3.35, 24 core each) and 2TB RAM (16 x 128GB, comes to <$30K) can be had for less than 40K. This insistence on Intel makes for a poor value proposition. Ps. The RAM actually can be had for 20K https://memory.net/product/m386aag40mmb-cvf-samsung-1x-128gb-ddr4-2933-lrdimm-pc4-23466l-quad-rank-x4-module/ https://memory.net/product/m386aag40mmb-cvf-samsung-1x-128gb... if one wants to really save on this.
- bluedino 7y agoWhich won't run MacOS...
- chx 7y agoApple totally could've went with EPYC Rome instead of Xeon W... Google was testing them way, way before the public announcement, surely if Apple wanted a "few" for testing, AMD would've been game.
- TimTheTinker 7y ago> This insistence on Intel makes for a poor value proposition. I agree. Apple should consider providing an AMD option -- and if they decide not to do so, at least write a blog explaining in detail why not.
- colejohnson66 7y agoThe motherboard was probably designed around when Ryzen first came out. It would’ve been too costly to switch.
- xvf22 7y agoFair enough but the performance gap is so wide now (and will be for at least a while) that it's hard to recommend this one.
- chx 7y agoI forgot to check but if you are just buying 1TB of RAM, that'd be 5k! 16 x 64GB: https://memory.net/product/m386a8k40cm2-cvf-samsung-1x-64gb-ddr4-2933-lrdimm-pc4-23466l-quad-rank-x4-module/ https://memory.net/product/m386a8k40cm2-cvf-samsung-1x-64gb-...
- sydney6 7y agoAnd AMD released the EPYC 7742, 64 Cores for under 7000 USD, which will eat this topped out Intel CPU alive.
- mseidl 7y agoMore cores isn't necessarily better.
- sydney6 7y agoPlease.. This CPU has equal/better single thread performance, almost double the cache size, less NUMA domains and yes, if this is what you are referring to, no AVX2, Optane support or any other Intel specifics (not even intel specific vulnerabilities:). Other than that, i cannot see your point in the context of this class of CPUs.
- bluedino 7y agoWhat if you buy your own RAM?
