Apple Mac Pro
| Introduction Date: | October 22, 2013* | Discontinued Date: | December 10, 2019 |
| Processors: | 1 (6 Cores) | Architecture: | 64-Bit |
| Geekbench 2 (32): | 16749 | Geekbench 2 (64): | 18867 |
| Geekbench 3 (32): | 3211 | Geekbench 3 (32): | 18266 |
| Geekbench 3 (64): | 3574 | Geekbench 3 (64): | 20654 |
| Geekbench 4 (SC): | 3790 | Geekbench 4 (MC): | 17335 |
| Geekbench 5 (SC): | 814 | Geekbench 5 (MC): | 4607 |
| Processor Speed: | 3.5 GHz | Processor Type: | 6 Core Xeon E5-1650v2 |
| Details: | The 64-bit 22-nm "Xeon E5" processor, or more specifically the "Ivy Bridge-EP" based E5-1650v2, has six independent "cores" each with a dedicated 256k level 2 cache and 12 MB of level 3 "Smart Cache." It also supports "Hyper-Threading" -- which "allows two threads to run simultaneously on each core" (so OS X recognizes twelve total cores on this model, six real and six virtual) -- and "Turbo Boost" -- which "automatically boosts the processor speed based on workload" up to 3.9 GHz for this model.

| Turbo Boost: | 3.9 GHz | Custom Speeds: | 3.0 (8), 2.7 (12)* |
| Processor Upgrade: | LGA 2011 Socket | FPU: | Integrated |
| System Bus Speed: | 5 GT/s (DMI2)* | Cache Bus Speed: | 3.5 GHz (Built-in) |
| ROM/Firmware Type: | EFI | EFI Architecture: | 64-Bit |
| L1 Cache: | 32k/32k x6 | L2/L3 Cache: | 256k (x6), 12 MB* |
| RAM Type: | PC3-15000 DDR3 ECC | Min. RAM Speed: | 1866 MHz |
| Details: | Uses "1866 MHz DDR3 ECC SDRAM" (PC3-15000) modules. Also see: How do you upgrade the RAM in the "Late 2013" Gray Cylinder Mac Pro models? How much RAM do they actually support? |
| Standard RAM: | 16 GB* | Maximum RAM: | 128 GB* |
| Details: | In the standard configuration, 16 GB of RAM was installed as four 4 GB modules, but if a "Six Core" processor option was selected as a CTO upgrade for the entry-level ME253LL/A model, it originally was possible to configure this system with just 12 GB of RAM. With 16 GB of RAM, no slots are free. *Apple formally supports 64 GB of RAM in this model, but third-parties have determined it can support 128 GB of RAM.

| Motherboard RAM: | None | RAM Slots: | 4 |
| Video Card: | AMD FirePro D500 x2* | VRAM Type: | GDDR5 SDRAM |
| Details: | *In the standard configuration, this system has dual AMD FirePro D500 graphics processors with 3 GB of GDDR5 memory each. This graphics processor has 1526 stream processors, a 384-bit-wide memory bus, 240 GB/s of memory bandwidth, and provide 2.2 teraflops of performance. However, if a "Six Core" processor option was selected as a CTO upgrade for the entry-level ME253LL/A model, it originally was possible to configure this system with slower dual AMD FirePro D300 graphics processors. Via custom configuration, this model also originally could be upgraded to "dual AMD FirePro D700 [graphics processors], each with 6 GB of GDDR5 VRAM, 2048 stream processors, [a] 384-bit-wide memory bus, 264 GB/s memory bandwidth, and 3.5 teraflops performance" for an extra US$600. Apple dropped the upgrade price of this graphics processor to US$200 on April 4, 2017. Also see: What are the default graphics cards provided with the "Late 2013" Gray Cylinder Mac Pro?

| Standard VRAM: | 3 GB | Maximum VRAM: | 3 GB |
| Display Support: | Up to 6 Displays* | Resolution Support: | 5K (5120x2880)* |
| Details: | *This system originally supported up to three 4K displays (3840x2160), but on June 16, 2015, Apple quietly increased this official support to as many as three 5K displays (5120x2880) -- two using Thunderbolt 2 ports and one using the HDMI port -- or as many as six displays up to 2560x1600 using Thunderbolt 2 ports. |
| 2nd Display Support: | Dual/Mirroring | 2nd Max. Resolution: | 5K (5120x2880) x2* |
| Details: | *This model originally supported as many as three 4K displays (3840x2160), but on June 16, 2015, Apple quietly increased the official support to as many as three 5K displays (5120x2880) or as many as six Thunderbolt displays (up to 2560x1600). |
| Standard Storage: | 256 GB SSD | Std. Storage Speed: | N/A |
| Details: | At the time of purchase, this model also originally could be configured with 512 GB or 1 TB of flash storage for an additional US$300 or US$800, respectively. On October 27, 2016, Apple cut these upgrade prices to US$200 and US$600, respectively. Finally, on July 9, 2019, Apple cut these upgrade prices again to US$200 and US$400, respectively.
