Specifically, the new Mac Pro has "double the floating point performance" of the 2012 Mac Pro. So, what does all that mean? The 2013 Mac Pro packs "amazing performance," Apple said. The 2012 Mac Pro has a 3.2GHz quad-core Intel Xeon W3565 processor with 8 MB of 元 cache (or two 2.4 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon Westmere-EP processors with 12 MB of 元 cache). The 2013 Mac Pro comes with 3.7GHz quad-core Intel Xeon X5 with 10MB 元 cache (configurable up to 3.5GHz 6-core processors with 12MB 元 cache). This subsequently lowers the 30dBA acoustic level of the 2012 Mac Pro to just 12dBA for the 2013 Mac Pro. "It works by conducting heat away from the CPU and GPUs and distributing that heat uniformly across the core."Īpple also engineered a single, larger fan that pulls air upward through a bottom intake, allowing air to pass vertically through the center of the device, absorbing heat and carrying it out the top. "Rather than using multiple heat sinks and fans to cool the processor and graphics cards, we built everything around a single piece of extruded aluminum designed to maximize airflow as well as thermal capacity," Apple said. Look and feel aside, one of the unique aspects to the 2013 Mac Pro is its unified thermal core and cooling system. The thermal core will come in handy when one processor isn’t working as hard as the others are, because the extra thermal capacity will distribute equally among all of them. For comparison, the 2012 Mac Pro is a 20.1-inch-tall rectangle box. The entire enclosure is cylindrical, sleek, lighter and smaller at just 9.9 inches tall with a diameter of 6.6 inches. The desktop has adopted a new design - which many have compared to a Braun coffee maker. The "cheese grater" look of the old Mac Pro, which debuted in 2003 with the Power Mac G5, is gone forever. Phil Schiller, Apple's senior VP of worldwide marketing, said: "The new Mac Pro is our vision for the future of the pro desktop, everything about it has been reimagined and there has never been anything like it."īut how does it set the bar higher? We've quickly broken it down, so you can see the exact differences between the 2013 Mac Pro and 2012 Mac Pro. It looks nothing like the 2012 Mac Pro, and the price hike it comes with is just as drastic too.Īpple has explained away the £2,499 price tag for the base model by emphasising it reinvented the Mac Pro from the inside out and designed it to tackle the most demanding workflows. (Pocket-lint) - Apple has announced the release date and pricing details for the new, cylindrical Mac Pro.
