With advanced performance, greater expansion, higher performance graphics options and unprecedented customization, the newly designed Mac Pro is the ideal system for the most demanding user.
The introduction of the Mac Pro marks the completion of a rapid transition for Apple, with the entire Mac family now using Intel’s latest processors.
"Apple has successfully completed the transition to using Intel processors in just seven months—210 days to be exact," said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO.
"And what better product to complete it with than the new Mac Pro, the workstation Mac users have been dreaming about."
The new Mac Pro features the new Dual-Core Intel Xeon 5100 series processor based on the revolutionary Intel Core microarchitecture, delivering significantly improved performance and power efficiency.
The new professional desktops are up to twice as fast as the Power Mac G5 Quad running industry standard benchmarks and features two Dual-Core Intel Xeon processors running up to 3.0 GHz, each with 4MB of shared L2 cache and independent 1.33 GHz front-side buses.
With 667 MHz DDR2 fully-buffered memory, the Mac Pro also boasts a 256-bit wide memory architecture for amazing bandwidth.
