If you’re planning on snagging a 2019 Mac Pro, this should help out.
The updated Mac Pro apparently brings back Apple’s Expansion Slot Utility app to customize PCIe bandwidth between the eight available PCI-express slots on the professional machine.
The application, which was discovered in the second beta of macOS Catalina, has apparently brought back the Expansion Slot Utility, which was present for a time in the older Intel-based Mac Pro systems. The Expansion Slot Utility helps with tasks such as allocating bandwidth towards a given graphics card.
The 2019 Mac Pro features a total of eight PCI-express slots that users can expand into. In total, the unit has four full-size, three double-wide, and a single half slot that comes pre-filled with Apple’s own I/O board.
The inclusion was spotted by Steve Moser and shared on Twitter.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
