Apple this week upgraded its base model Mac Pro to include 512GB of storage and AMD’s Radeon Pro W5500X graphics for the same $5,999 starting price. Previously, this configuration included 256GB of storage and Radeon Pro 580X graphics. These changes apply to both the tower and rack versions of the Mac Pro.
It’s not the spec bump that has been rumored for the 2019 machine, but it’s something. Interestingly, the Trashcan got a similar update later in its life.
As a side note: I’ll be selling my 12-core Mac Pro after my M1 Max Mac Studio shows up in early April… but more on this later.
