New Mac Pro
The new Mac Pro made its first appearance last month at Apple's conference. Designed
around a unified thermal core, the Mac Pro features the latest Intel Xeon processors
with up to 12 cores, dual workstation-class GPUs, six Thunderbolt 2 ports, PCIe-based
flash storage and ultra-fast ECC memory. The all-new Mac Pro starts at $2,999 (US) and
will be available in December.
The all-new Mac Pro is architected around a unified thermal core that allows the system
to efficiently share thermal capacity across all the processors. Apple claims that the
fan draws in air efficiently and makes the new Mac Pro as quiet as a Mac mini. The
result is a high-performing pro desktop packed into a design that is just 9.9-inches
tall and one-eighth the volume of the previous Mac Pro.
The new Mac Pro features 4-core, 6-core, 8-core or 12-core Intel Xeon processors
running at Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.9 GHz that deliver double the floating point
performance of the previous generation Mac Pro. Two workstation-class AMD FirePro GPUs with up to 12GB of video memory provide up to seven teraflops of compute power and up to eight times the graphics performance of the previous generation Mac Pro. OpenGL and OpenCL are optimized in OS X Mavericks to leverage the full computing power of the Mac Pro CPU and dual GPUs.
The new Mac Pro features PCIe-based flash storage that delivers sequential read speeds
up to 1.2GBps and is up to 10 times faster than conventional desktop hard drives. ECC
DDR3 running at 1866 MHz, with a four-channel memory controller, gives the new Mac Pro up to 60GBps of memory bandwidth, twice that of the previous generation Mac Pro. The power and bandwidth of Mac Pro means you can edit full-resolution 4K video streams and play them in real time.
Featuring a six Thunderbolt 2 ports, each with up to 20Gbps of bandwidth per device,
the all-new Mac Pro completely redefines desktop expandability. Thunderbolt 2 ports
support up to six daisy-chained devices each, giving pros the ability to connect up to
36 high-performance peripherals-from external storage devices, to multiple PCI
expansion chassis, to audio and video breakout boxes. Thunderbolt 2 uses existing
copper or optical Thunderbolt cables and is completely backward compatible with
existing Thunderbolt peripherals and cables, and also supports the latest 4K displays.
A new self-configuring IP over Thunderbolt software feature in OS X Mavericks provides a fast link between Thunderbolt-enabled Macs.
The new Mac Pro provides power for Apple's professional apps, including Final Cut Pro
X, Logic Pro X and Aperture. Final Cut Pro X has been optimized to support dual GPUs
for improved real-time playback performance, faster rendering, quicker export, and 4K
video monitoring through Thunderbolt 2 and HDMI. Flash storage makes importing and
exporting thousands of high-resolution images faster with Aperture. Logic Pro X takes
advantage of flash storage for fast project load times and Thunderbolt 2 for a high
number of channels of ultra-low latency audio I/O without the need for add-on PCI
cards.
The new Mac Pro ships with OS X Mavericks. Mavericks is the 10th major release of the
Apple's operating system and is available for free from the Mac App Store. In addition
