Mac Pro (2019) memory specifications
Find out about the types of memory (RAM) used in Mac Pro (2019).
Mac Pro has a 6-channel memory controller that supports 12 memory slots you can use to install up to 1.5 TB of memory using 2933 MHz DDR4 ECC compliant memory DIMMs. To ensure compatibility, Apple recommends that you use Apple-approved memory.
Memory requirements
When you upgrade the memory in your Mac Pro, it must meet these requirements:
2933 MHz DDR4 full-length DIMM. Mixing memory speeds is not recommended.
Error-correcting code (ECC)
8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB, 64 GB or 128 GB DIMMs
Registered (R-DIMM) or Load-Reduced DIMM (LR-DIMM). Do not mix R-DIMMs and LR-DIMMs.
288-pin
Use the same size memory modules across all slots to maximise performance.
DIMMs with heatsinks are not supported and may damage the DIMM mechanism.
The Mac Pro supports both R-DIMMs and LR-DIMMs, but you can't mix these two memory types. Mixing R-DIMMs and LR-DIMMs will result in a memory error flash of the status indicator light when you turn on your computer.
Model specifications
Mac Pro model | Max RAM | Speed | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
8-core | 768 GB | 2666 MHz DDR4 ECC | LR-DIMM or R-DIMM |
12-core | 768 GB | 2933 MHz DDR4 ECC | LR-DIMM or R-DIMM |
16-core | 768 GB | 2933 MHz DDR4 ECC | LR-DIMM or R-DIMM |
24-core | 1.5 TB | 2933 MHz DDR4 ECC | LR-DIMM or R-DIMM |
28-core | 1.5 TB | 2933 MHz DDR4 ECC | LR-DIMM or R-DIMM |
Configured from Apple, Mac Pro models include the following DIMM types:
R-DIMMs for configurations up to 192 GB (6 x 32 GB).
LR-DIMMs for configurations of 384 GB (6 x 64 GB) or more.
All memory included with your Mac Pro is 2933 MHz. Mac Pro models with 8 core processors operate memory at 2666 MHz.
