The 2023 Mac Pro carried over the design of the 2019 model and is based on the Apple M2 Ultra chip. It has up to a 28-core Xeon-W processor, eight PCIe slots, AMD Radeon Pro Vega GPUs, and replaces most data ports with USB-C and Thunderbolt 3. The 2019 Mac Pro returned to a tower form factor reminiscent of the first-generation model, but with larger air cooling holes. Limitations of the cylindrical design prevented Apple from upgrading the cylindrical Mac Pro with more powerful hardware. Reviews initially were generally positive, with caveats. Thunderbolt 2 ports brought updated wired connectivity and support for six Thunderbolt Displays.

It had up to a 12-core Xeon E5 processor, dual AMD FirePro D series GPUs, PCIe-based flash storage and an HDMI port, but lacked PCIe expansion slots. Apple said it offered twice the overall performance of the first generation while taking up less than one-eighth the volume. In December 2013, Apple released a new cylindrical Mac Pro (colloquially called the "trash can Mac Pro" ). Revisions in 20 revisions had Nehalem/ Westmere architecture Intel Xeon processors.

It was updated on April 4, 2007, by a dual quad-core Xeon Clovertown model, then on January 8, 2008, by a dual quad-core Xeon Harpertown model. Introduced in August 2006, the Mac Pro was an Intel-based replacement for the Power Mac line and had two dual-core Xeon Woodcrest processors and a rectangular tower case carried over from the Power Mac G5. It is one of four desktop computers in the current Mac lineup, sitting above the Mac Mini, iMac and Mac Studio. The Mac Pro, by some performance benchmarks, is the most powerful computer that Apple offers. Mac Pro is a series of workstations and servers for professionals made by Apple Inc.
