2013 Mac Pro Xeon Workstation

This 2013 Mac Pro is a compact desktop workstation built around a 3.5GHz 6-core Intel Xeon processor with 12MB of L3 cache and Hyper-Threading Technology. It ships with 32GB of 1866MHz DDR3 ECC memory arranged as four 8GB modules. The operating system installed is OS X 10.9 Mavericks.

Suited for legacy macOS workflows.

The dual AMD FirePro D700 GPUs provide 12GB of total GDDR5 VRAM, supporting professional OpenCL workloads and older macOS applications that rely on that architecture. Buyers who need current driver support, newer compute APIs or the ability to run the latest macOS releases should look at a different platform. The system is new old stock, not a current production model.

512GB PCIe Flash storage capacity

Internal storage is a 512GB PCIe-based flash drive that holds the operating system and active project files. Wireless connectivity uses an 802.11ac card. The black cylindrical chassis uses a unified thermal core rather than conventional drive bays, so additional internal storage cannot be added.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 6-core Xeon or a different CPU option for this Mac Pro?

The 3.5GHz 6-core Xeon with 12MB L3 cache and Hyper-Threading delivers 12 threads for parallel workloads like rendering and virtualization.

What does the 3.5GHz clock speed mean once the system is under load?

The Xeon maintains its 3.5GHz base frequency across all six cores with 12MB shared L3 cache, while Hyper-Threading keeps 12 logical threads fed during sustained compute tasks.

What does the 802.11ac wireless card cap in everyday use?

The 802.11ac card connects to compatible routers on 5GHz bands; actual throughput depends on router capabilities, channel width, and local interference.
