How the Mac Pro (2023, Apple Silicon) compares to today
A 16 GB Apple Silicon MacBook Pro has about 0.3× more memory than this device shipped with.
At 3.49 GHz, the clock is roughly 0.9× slower than a single performance core of a 16 GB Apple Silicon MacBook Pro — and that is before counting cores, width and IPC.
This held about 262,000 modern phone photos — a respectable library even today.
Launched at $6,999 in 2023 — about $7,209 in today’s money (approx., US CPI).
Cross-architecture speed figures are clock-only and approximate; inflation figures use US CPI.
Did you know?
Because Apple Silicon uses unified memory, you can’t add RAM cards anymore — a big change for a "tower."
