On the first day of the WWDC developer conference, Apple unveiled the new Mac Pro professional PC.
Real beast
The computer has a modular design and a rather unusual design: the stainless steel and aluminum body is very reminiscent of an ordinary kitchen grater. But the most interesting thing is inside.
The basic configuration received an 8-core Xeon W CPU with a frequency of up to 4 GHz, 32 GB of memory, 256 GB of SSD memory and a Radeon Pro 580X video card.

With the help of such a computer, you can conduct three streams at once in 8K resolution each and 12 streams in 4K. There is also a special Afterburner card to speed up video processing.
The cooling system consists of 6 fansand a water evaporation system. There are 8 PCIe expansion slots, 2 USB Type-C ports with Thunderbolt 3 specification, 2 UCB-A 3.0 ports and even a 3.5mm headphone jack.
