There’s been a lot of Twitter griping about the new Mac Pro Geekbench results not being that much better than the 2017 iMac Pro, essentially making the point that the Mac Pro is not worth all that extra money.

If you check out the Geekbench scores, you’ll see that the lowest model of the new Mac Pro scores worse than the top end 2017 iMac Pro.

I priced out the top-end iMac Pro (256GB RAM, top video card) at $13,299. That does include a display, obviously.

I priced out a base model new Mac Pro (went up to 384GB RAM) at $11,999. More RAM, no display.

The pricing seems reasonable to me. And one is the top of its line, the other the absolute bottom of its line. Close enough.
