Apple Mac Pro (Rack, 2023)
The rack-mount version of Apple's M2 Ultra Mac Pro: the same fixed 24-core CPU / up to 76-core GPU M2 Ultra package, unified memory up to 192 GB and six open PCIe 4.0 slots as the tower, in a 5U rack chassis with quick-deployment rails instead of feet or wheels. Built for facility installs (broadcast, post, data centre) that need internal PCIe cards (capture, DSP, networking, storage) in a rack rather than a desk-side tower; memory and GPU core count are fixed at purchase and no discrete or MPX GPU is supported.
