During the conference call, Apple CEO Tim Cook explained the future of the new Mac Pro 2019 in more detail. The production of the professional computer will continue to take place in the USA.
The Mac Pro, introduced in 2013, is still manufactured in Texas today and bears the label "Assembled in the USA" - with the new Mac Pro 2019, this should have changed. Apple originally planned to manufacture the new generation in China. But now Tim Cook has announced that the new Mac Pro will also be manufactured in the USA - the reason for the move is obvious. A few days ago, Apple submitted an application to the US government for an exemption from punitive tariffs. This was rejected and commented on by President Donald Trump with the words "Build them in the USA - then there will be no tariffs!" Tim Cook now said the following in his statement:
"There's been a lot of speculation around this. I wouldn't put much stock in it. The majority of our products are manufactured everywhere. We've manufactured the Mac Pro in the United States and intend to continue doing so. We're currently working on and investing in the appropriate capacity. We intend to remain there."
A real beast
The new Mac Pro is an absolute powerhouse. It is equipped with a new Intel Xeon processor and can accommodate up to 28 cores. The new heavyweight starts at $5,999 in terms of price. The smallest model comes with 8 cores and has 3.5 GHz - 4.0 GHz Turbo Boost. In the high-end version, the Mac Pro can be equipped with 28 cores - these clock at 2.5 GHz and a Turbo Boost of up to 4.4 GHz. As far as memory is concerned, the 2019 Mac Pro offers configurations with up to 1.5 TB of DDR4 ECC memory in 12 user-friendly DIMM slots. For graphics, there are two MPX modules that can be configured with up to four GPUs. The new Apple computer can be pre-ordered from autumn.
