Anyone thinking of buying the new Apple Mac Pro for $50,000? - GoFuckYourself.com

From what i have read so far it looks like the cost of a fully loaded 28 core Pro with all the bells a whistles will set you back a whooping $50,000 and if you opt for 6 of the new 32" displays which it apparently can support, you can add on another $30,000. Dont think i can justify that

Apple's last Mac Pro was powerful and impressive at launch... but turned out to be nearly impossible to expand or upgrade, much to the chagrin of those who needed it most. Its sequel should have no such problem. Its stainless steel frame with integrated handles and optional wheels was built specifically to allow for modularity and upgradability. An aluminum housing slides over the frame, hiding eight internal PCIe slots, an Intel Xeon processor with up to 28 cores, up to 300 watts of power, and a massive heat sink, a 1.4 kW power supply, and up to 1.5TB of RAM. Its graphics cards are held inside an MPX module that has a secondary slot for added power and Thunderbolt support, and the optional Afterburner video card is capable of processing 6 billion pixels per second, enabling playback of multiple 8K videos at once. For maximum effect, pair it with six of Apple's new 32-inch, 6K Retina Pro Display XDRs.

Not buying one at that level, but we will have one in our new studio build by year's end.

They are worth as much as people are willing to pay for them, so yeah...they are testing.
