The new Mac Pro, available to order today, starts at $9,999 and comes with 32GB of RAM, a octa-core Intel Xeon CPU, Radeon Pro 580X graphics and a 256GB SSD.
But if that’s not enough for you and you’re after the Rolls Royce of Mac Pros, you can configure your glorified cheese grater to include these fancy features, according to the Verge:
For an extra $10,275 – A 28-Core, 2.5GHz Intel Xeon W with 28 cores, 56 threads, and Turbo Boost up to 4.4GHz
