After all the loaded software announcements Apple made at WWDC 2019, we saw not just one, but two hardware products in the new Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR.

It’s quite amazing what this pair of devices can do, and it all begins with their raw specs.

The Mac Pro comes equipped with the following: Intel’s Xeon processor with up to 28 cores, up to 1.5TB of memory (yes, as in RAM!), eight PCI Express expansion slots for peripherals, and 56 teraflops of graphics performance from two Radeon Pro Vega II Duo graphics cards. That’s absolutely insane!

In addition, the Mac Pro prides itself in Afterburner that can decode up to 6.3 billion pixels per second — perfect for video editors who hate waiting. The all-metal frame makes sure that cooling is efficient and moving the system around a workplace is effortless.

Not to be outdone, the Pro Display XDR is a monitor like no other. It has a massive 32-inch LCD panel with a resolution of 6016 x 3384 pixels, which equates to a Retina 6K resolution of over 20 million pixels.

What would get designers and editors most excited about, however, is the P3 wide color gamut and true 10-bit color for over 1 billion colors. With polarizer tech and a nano-texture matte coating, the display can be enjoyed by multiple viewers at once from different angles.

But what does XDR stand for exactly? Extreme Dynamic Range, of course! You get a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1 for those deep blacks and the peak brightness reaches 1,600 nits — seriously high for any standard.

There’s a price to pay for all this power and precision. The Mac Pro starts at US$ 5,999 and can go much higher with the top-end specs mentioned above. Meanwhile, the Pro Display XDR starts at USS$ 4,999. They’ll both become available this fall.

GIGABYTE has launched two new AORUS INFINITY graphics cards in celebration of its 40th anniversary, giving PC builders more options for their custom builds.

These are the AORUS GeForce RTX 5080 INFINITY 16G and the unique, nature-inspired AORUS GeForce RTX 5080 INFINITY WOOD 16G.

These high-end components are genuine design objects meant to elevate the look of one’s entire setup, while also providing topnotch GPU performance.

The new models build on the design language of the AORUS GeForce RTX 5090 INFINITY and further evolve the signature aerospace turbine-inspired aesthetic with integrated RGB lighting elements.

Particularly, the WOOD edition integrates wood-grain elements as its core design language, blending the warmth of natural textures with high-performance hardware.

As such, it is a crown jewel for lifestyle-focused users and interior design lovers, bringing a sense of warmth and emotional resonance.

At the same time, both are absolute powerhouses inside. GIGABYTE packed the new AORUS INFINITY models with the WINDFORCE Hyperburst cooling system.

The patented Hawk fan design minimizes airflow turbulence and noise while achieving higher air pressure and greater air volume.

In the thermal design is a large vapor chamber making direct contact with the GPU. This is paired with composite copper heat pipes to effectively accelerate heat transfer efficiently.

Both new AORUS INFINITY graphics cards support the Project Stealth series for a streamlined building experience.

The concealed power connector design neatly hides cables within the graphics card structure for a cleaner, less cluttery look.
