Form trumped function leaving Apple with a pretty equipment that was a nightmare to upgrade.
Its been all but abandoned since it landed with a thud.

Last week the version of it available on Apples site was still using a processor from 2015.
And still, we all languished with only Apples furtive promises of a new and unique rig.
Were working on it.
Now you wont see any of those products this year; were in the process of that.
So what does a modular, complete rethinking of the Mac Pro look like?
Its set into a stainless steel frame that gives you access to components from every single angle.
It uses the 8th-Gen Xeon processor announced back in January, which includes up to 28 cores.
The GPU sucks up to 500 Watts of power and is called the MPX Module.
According to Apple it lets you easily combine up to two AMD cards into a single module.
Up to two MPX Modules can be slotted in, which means 4 graphics cards can run at once.
Besides the GPUs, theres a new Afterburner video decoder card as well.
Apple claims it will allow you to process up to 3 8K streams at once.
And how is all this nonsense powered?
By a whopping 1,400 Watt power supply.
As for how youll view all the content Apple claims this cheese grater can crush?
This is definitely not a prosumer product, but one Apple intends for big editing bays in professional studios.
