Jony Ive设计红色Mac Pro以690万元拍出！

近日，由苹果公司前首席设计师Jony Ive和Marc Newson设计的红色款Mac Pro在苏富比慈善拍卖会上成功拍出，该产品全球仅1台，最终成交价高达97.7万美元（约合人民币690.7 万元）。

2013年，苹果发布了搭载Intel Xeon E5处理器的Mac Pro，这款产品由于其独特的圆柱形外观设计，直到现在也有不低的知名度。

拍卖品简介显示，新款Mac Pro是苹果有史以来设计的最强大，最激进的Mac。新款Mac Pro围绕创新的统一散热核心架构，配备双工作站显卡、最新的至强处理器、超快闪存和令人难以置信的高性能I/O。精确加工和抛光的外壳以非凡的设计容纳了这项先进技术，高为9.9英寸，直径为6.6英寸。这款独一无二的表款由红色阳极氧化铝制成，专为拍卖会制作而成。

A ‘trash can’ 2013 Mac Pro with a clean, red anodized aluminum finish is about the only model in existence, assuming that current owners have not given it their own fresh coat of paint. Thanks to the efforts of industrial designers Jony Ive and Marc Newson, this customized workstation certainly catches the eye. Apple’s former Chief Industrial Designer and Newson created the red Mac Pro exclusively for the (RED) Sotheby’s charity auction, and it sold for an eye-watering $977,000. Both individuals should pat themselves on the back for a job well done. As for the unique Mac Pro, Sotheby’s had this to say about it. “The new Mac Pro is the most powerful, yet radical Mac that Apple has ever designed. Architected around an innovative, unified thermal core, the new Mac Pro features dual workstation graphics cards, the latest Xeon processors, ultra-fast flash storage, and incredibly high performance I/O. A precisely machined and polished enclosure houses this advanced technology in an extraordinary design that stands just 9.9 inches tall and 6.6 inches in diameter. This one-of-a-kind model, made with red anodised aluminium, has been crafted exclusively for the (RED) Auction.” Jony Ive and Marc Newson customized this one-of-a-kind 2013 Mac Pro with red anodized aluminum.

The server-grade workstation CPUs back in 2013 were available in 4-core and even 12-core configurations for the 2013 Mac Pro, so the overall performance will vary. Considering that the red-colored machine sold for nearly $1 million, it should feature the absolute best in computer hardware that was available nearly a decade ago. Depending on the configuration, the ‘trash can’ Mac Pro is still an extremely capable machine, able to hold its own against modern-day silicon like the M1 and M2 in multi-core workloads. Considering the latest chipsets are extremely power-efficient, Apple could maybe one day resurrect this design, refine it somewhat, and launch it as an updated Mac Pro.
