Apple adds 256GB RAM and Radeon Pro Vega 64X graphics options to iMac Pro

In improver to refreshing the consumer iMac line this morn amongst a 2x faster functioning via upwards to six-core Intel Core i9 CPU options as well as novel GPU upgrades (Vega 20 for 21.5-inch models as well as Vega 48 for 27-inch models), Apple but added but about fresh novel RAM as well as GPU options to its iMac Pro all-in-one, which launched inwards Dec 2017.

The Buy iMac Pro page instantly offers the next novel upgrades:

• 256GB of 2,666MHz DDR4 ECC RAM: $5,200
• Radeon Pro Vega 64X amongst 16GB of HBM2 VRAM: $700

Both upgrades are available every bit configure-to-order options that increase the $4,999 baseline model’s price. Other configure-to-order options convey remained the same every bit before.

According to MacRumors, but about iMac Pro upgrade options are instantly cheaper than before:

As examples, 64GB of RAM dropped from $800 to $400, 128GB of RAM dropped from $2,400 to $2,000, Radeon Vega Pro 64 graphics dropped from $600 to $550, as well as 4TB SSD storage dropped from $2,800 to $2,400 inwards the United States. 

I tin breadbasket that Radeon Pro Vega 64X GPU upgrade because it’s solely $700 for such a high-end GPU. Besides, the GPU comes amongst 16 gigabytes of its ain high-speed onboard memory. Maxing out the RAM, however, basically doubles the full toll of your computer.
