Mac Pro with M2 Ultra first look: boy, that’s a big chip

Apple just announced a new Mac Pro, and we’ve just gotten our first photos of it. It doesn’t look too different — the 2019 cheese grater design is still here — but it has a big ol’ M2 Ultra chip on the inside.

The upgraded Mac Studio is also available with the M2 Ultra chip, but the Mac Pro offers expandability options that aren’t available with the Studio. For ports, the new Mac Pro has six PCIe Gen 4 slots and eight Thunderbolt ports (six in the back and two on top), two USB-A ports, an SD card slot in the front, 10GB ethernet port, and an “enhanced” HDMI port.

The new Mac Pro is available to order Monday ahead of availability on June 13th.
