Released in 2019, this long-awaited replacement for the Mac Pro was a return to the more traditional, expandable, tower form factor. Featuring top of the line CPU and GPU options, and an incredible 1.5TB maximum RAM, this machine firmly targeted the professional market segment.
How to Identify these Machines
Somewhat similar to the old tower Mac Pro towers that were discontined in 2012, this machine has a distinctive "cheese grater" front panel.
Memory Upgrades
The Late 2019 Mac Pro takes DDR4 PC23400 2933MHz RAM. Though the 8 Core version has a 2666MHz memory bus, it can take (and is sold with) the same 2933MHz RAM as the other models, which it clocks down to the slower speed. The Twenty-Eight and Twenty-Four models can run up to 1.5TB in 12 x 128GB modules. The other models offically support up to 768GB RAM in 12 x 64GB modules, but aftermarket testing has shown they will run up to 1TB in 8 x 128GB without issues.
