The (all-new) Mac Pro – An in-depth look

Dan Uff June 11, 2013 1

Yesterday, Apple announced the all-new Mac Pro which is scheduled to come out "Later This Year". During my overview of the Keynote, I touched on the announcement, but didn't really give any specs. This article will take care of that :-)

Once again, Apple shocked the computer world by introducing (previewing) its next generation Mac Pro. Taking the normal design, and shrinking it into a "tube-like" piece of hardware really makes the computer. They did the impossible yet again. By seeing the below specs, I think you'll agree:

General overview:

* Dual GPUs
* PCI Express-based flash storage (up to 40GB per second)
* Thunderbolt 2
* Latest Generation Xeon Processors
* Support for 4K video
* Ultra-fast memory
* Up to 12 Core Processing Power
* 2x faster then the current Mac Pro

Every component of the new Mac Pro is optimized for performance, including:

MEMORY (RAM):

* Four-channel DDR-3 Memory Controller running at 1866MHz.
* Up to 60GB MHz Per Second Memory Bandwidth.
* ECC Memory, meaning the computer will render jobs quicker and without transient memory errors.

VIDEO:

* State of the art AMD Firepro-workstation class GPU with up to 6GB dedicated VRAM
* Connect up to three high-resolution 4K monitors.

STORAGE:

* Next-Generation PCI Express flash storage (Up to 2.5x faster then current hard drives)
* Designed around newest flash technology

EXPANSION:

* 4 USB 3 ports
* 2 Gigabyte EtherNet
* 1 HDMI 1.4 Port
