Up to 12 cores of raw power Configure your Mac Pro with 4, 6, 8, or 12 cores of processing power and boost performance up to 1.5x.1 Up to 5x faster standard graphics. Powerful new graphics cards give you up to 5 times faster performance, while three video ports give you more display options.2 New ultrafast solid-state drive options. Install up to four 512GB solid-state drives for incredible performance, including up to 2x faster video encoding compared to hard drives.3 Easy-access interior for simple expansion. An easy-access interior makes it a snap — literally — to add up to 32GB of memory, four PCI Express expansion cards, and up to 8TB of hard drive storage.

Configure your Mac Pro. Configurable Options More processor cores Larger drives Graphics options Preinstalled software   Select a base configuration above, then add options to build the Mac Pro that’s right for you, including:4 * Quad-core, 6-core, 8-core, and 12-core processing * Memory up to 32GB5 * Hard drive storage up to 8TB * Solid-state storage up to 2TB * Graphics card options * Mac Pro RAID Card   Fast memory. And lots of it. System memory is often connected to a processor through a separate I/O controller. But Intel Xeon “Nehalem” and “Westmere” processors feature an integrated memory controller. By connecting memory directly to the processor, the new Mac Pro processors have faster access to data stored in memory, and memory latency is reduced.

1. Testing conducted by Apple in July 2010 using preproduction Mac Pro 12-core 2.93GHz units and shipping Mac Pro 8-core 2.93GHz units, all configured with 6GB of RAM. Based on render performance of Maxwell Render 2.0.3 using Benchwell's sculpture.mxs. Performance tests are conducted using specific computer systems and reflect the approximate performance of Mac Pro.

2. Testing conducted by Apple in August 2010 using preproduction Mac Pro 12-core 2.93GHz units with ATI Radeon HD 5770 and shipping Mac Pro 8-core 2.93GHz units with prerelease OS and NVIDIA GeForce GT 120, all configured with 6GB of RAM. Portal tested using mydemo1.dem (http://public.me.com/selene.prod), maximum graphics quality, 4x anti-aliasing, 4x anisotropic filtering, at 2560x1440. Call of Duty 4 tested using v1.7.1, Timedemoambush, Timedemobog, Timedemopipeline, maximum graphics quality, 4x anti-aliasing, at 2560x1440. Performance tests are conducted using specific computer systems and reflect the approximate performance of Mac Pro.

3. Testing conducted by Apple in July 2010 using preproduction Mac Pro 12-core 2.93GHz units configured with 6GB of RAM, 1TB 7200-rpm hard disk drive and 512GB solid-state drive. Testing conducted using Iometer 2006.07.27 with a 30-second ramp-up, 5-minute run duration, 128KB request size, 8 outstanding IOs, and 150GB test file. Average rotational media performance calculated by creating the test file on the outer, middle, and inner sectors of the drive and averaging the results from all three measurements. Performance tests are conducted using specific computer systems and reflect the approximate performance of Mac Pro.
