Apple gave a sneak peek of the new Mac Pro during WWDC in June. In October, at Apple’s media event, we learned more about the specifications of the Mac Pro and its starting price. The base models of the Mac Pro are priced at $2999 and $3999 [$3099/$4099 in Canada] respectively.
Apple’s website does not yet provide any costs beyond the base configurations. MacRumors has an estimate of the build-to-order upgrade pricing for the Mac Pro. The following prices are estimates relative to the stock model for U.S. customers:
CPU (Stock: 3.5GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5)
– 3.0GHz 8-core: +$1500
– 2.7GHz 12-core: +$3000
Graphics (Stock: Dual AMD FirePro D500 with 3GB GDDR5)
– Dual AMD FirePro D700 with 6 GB GDDR5: +$600
RAM (Stock: 16GB 1866MHz DDR3 ECC – 4x4GB)
– 32GB (4x8GB): +$400
– 64GB (4x16GB): +$1600
Flash Storage (Stock: 256GB PCIe-based)
– 512GB: +$300
– 1TB: +$800
The lower end Mac Pro model starts at $2999 and comes with a quad-core Intel Xeon E5 processor, 12GB of RAM, dual AMD FirePro D300 graphics, and 256GB PCIe-based flash storage. The $3999 higher-end stock model of the Mac Pro comes with an upgraded 6-core processor, 16GB of RAM, and dual AMD FirePro D500 graphics.
The Mac Pro is scheduled to launch by the end of December, although Apple has yet to announce any exact date for availability.

Like a Ferrari is good for driving to work and back.
It isn’t?
I think that’s the point. A Ferrari would be a blast for driving to work and back, but no one needs a Ferrari for that task. Any car will do. For those that can afford it, they’re welcome to do as they choose.
Great for Twitter.
