Now, Apple doesnвЂ™t specify what 28-core Xeon processor itвЂ™ll be shipping with the Mac Pro, but looking at IntelвЂ™s product database, the closest option out there is the Intel Xeon W-3275M, which the company lists a recommended customer price for of $7,453, which weвЂ™ll assume to be the bare minimum here. Next up: we need the best CPU we can get: in this case, a 2.5GHz, 28-core Intel Xeon W processor that can Turbo Boost up to 4.4GHz, with a 66.5MB cache and support for up to 2TB 2933MHz memory. ItвЂ™s not yet known exactly what processor Apple will put inside the new Mac Pro, but The Verge feels like the Xeon W-3275M is close to what it will end up with at a bit under $8,000. ItвЂ™s not clear whether this storage is user upgradable or not (especially considering that itвЂ™s encrypted by AppleвЂ™s T2 chip, which implies some hardware level integration on AppleвЂ™s end), so weвЂ™ll take AppleвЂ™s far pricier number as the minimum here for now.

This oneвЂ™s easy: Apple charges $2,400 to upgrade its iMac Pro to 4TB of storage, so we can extrapolate that itвЂ™ll probably charge the same to upgrade the Mac Pro to the same. The Verge estimates $2,400 as the minimum cost. But just imagine: with $18K of RAM, you might even be able to keep three whole Chrome tabs open at once! 4TB SSD storageДЄnother relatively simple cost to estimate here, unless Apple decides to charge more than the $2,400 that it does for the iMac Pro, which could happen.

For the maximum of 1.5TB of RAM, we need 12 128GB sticks of RAM at roughly $1,388.99 each, that rings up to a whopping $17,867.88 for memory. The new Mac Pro has 12 user-accessible DIMM slots that take DDR4 ECC memory. The easiest thing on our shopping list is RAM. The estimate put 12 sticks of DDR4 ECC RAM at just shy of $18,000. The Verge decided to do some research on how much all of those upgrades might cost and the numbers could hit over $50,000 by the time you include the Pro Display XDR and other add-ons.

The base Mac Pro comes with an 8-core Intel Xeon processor, 32GB of RAM, and just 256GB of SSD storage for $5,999.ДЄpple will also offer top tier specs that include a 28-core Intel Xeon processor, 1.5TB of RAM, 4TB of SSD storage, two AMD Radeon Vega II GPUs, and AppleвЂ™s custom Afterburner acceleratorВ card. Now, The Verge has done some digging to estimate what a maxed out Mac Pro setup might cost. But naturally, the price point Apple shared was for the base model and didnвЂ™t give any hints about how pricey upgrades might be. The all-new modular Mac Pro was unveiled at the WWDC keynote with some jaw-droppingВ specs.
