The 2019 Mac Pro represented Apple's triumphant return to a truly expandable, professional caliber Mac after the ill-fated cylinder design that preceded it. In many respects, the 2019 Mac Pro line is among the most expandable Macs that Apple ever has released. With twelve RAM slots and eight PCIe slots, it promised amazing potential for professional users.
Specifically, this model -- the Mac Pro "Eight Core" 3.5 (2019) -- is powered by a single 3.5 GHz Eight Core Xeon W (3223) processor with Turbo Boost up to 4.0 GHz and 24.5 MB of cache and originally was equipped with 32 GB of RAM, a 256 GB SSD, and AMD Radeon Pro 580X graphics with 8 GB of GDDR5 memory (on March 8, 2022, Apple changed the default configuration to a 512 GB SSD and an AMD Radeon Pro W5500X with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory).
In its default configuration, connectivity includes two USB 3 ports (on a pre-installed Apple I/O card), four Thunderbolt 3 ports (two on the Apple I/O card and two on the top of the case), two HDMI 2.0 ports (on the video card), two 10Gb Ethernet ports and a 3.5 mm headphone jack with headset support in addition to 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0. Of course, additional connectivity can be added with PCIe expansion cards.

| Expansion Slots: |
8 PCIe* |
Expansion Bays: |
See Details** |
| Details: |
*This Mac Pro has eight PCI Express expansion slots.
Four PCIe slots accommodate two MPX modules, intended by default for graphics cards. Apple reports that each of the two MPX bays "provides x16 Gen 3 bandwidth for graphics, x8 Gen 3 bandwidth for Thunderbolt, DisplayPort video routing and up to 500W power for an MPX module." Alternately, Apple explains that the first MPX bay can accommodate "one full-length, double-wide x16 Gen 3 slot and one full-length, double-wide x8 gen 3 slot" or, in the second MPX bay, it can accommodate "two full-length, double-wide x16 gen 3 slots." The MPX bays can provide "up to 300W auxiliary power via two 8-pin connectors."
In addition, to the PCIe slots provided via the MPX bays, this Mac Pro has three full-length PCIe Gen 3 slots (one x16 slot; two x8 slots) with 75W of auxiliary power available; and one half-length x4 PCIe Gen 3 slot with an Apple I/O card installed by default.
As an option, Apple offered an "Afterburner" ProRes and ProRes RAW accelerator card for the PCIe x16 slot. This card cost an additional US$2000 and "accelerates ProRes and ProRes RAW codecs" in Final Cut Pro X and supported third-party software. This Afterburner card supports "playback of up to 3 streams of 8K ProRes RAW or up to 12 streams of 4K ProRes RAW" and can process up to 6 billion pixels per second.
**In lieu of more traditional drive bays, this Mac Pro accommodates two blade SSDs, but the PCIe slots enable a wide variety of third-party internal storage options.

*In its default configuration, with an AMD Radeon Pro 580X video card, this system has four Thunderbolt 3 ports (two on a pre-installed Apple I/O card in the half-length x4 PCIe slot and two on the top of the case) and two HDMI 2.0 ports on the video card. With an AMD Radeon Pro W5500X, it also has two HDMI 2.0 ports on the video card.
All other video cards that Apple offers -- the AMD Radeon Pro Vega II, AMD Radeon Pro Vega II Duo, AMD Radeon Pro W5700X, AMD Radeon Pro W6800X, AMD Radeon Pro W6900X, and AMD Radeon Pro W6800X Duo -- have four Thunderbolt 3 ports on the video card, but only one HDMI 2.0 port. Accordingly, in total, the these other video card options provide eight total Thunderbolt 3 ports (two on the Apple I/O card, two on top of the case and four on the video card) but only one HDMI 2.0 port (on the video card).
Of course, other connectivity can be added via the PCIe slots, too.
