MAC PRO

MAC PRO:


In the old days of personal computing, expansion meant using vacancies inside a computer chassis where you could plug in graphics cards and hard drives. But now, because of Apple's fondness for Intel's high-speed Thunderbolt data port, expansion means hooking up devices outside the chassis.
According to Apple, it is 2.5 times faster than the current Mac Pro, though benchmarks of the 12-core Xeon E5-2697 V2 processor have demonstrated mixed results, with the latest offering evidence that the Mac Pro will certainly offer a significant improvement over its predecessor, especially during demanding  multi-threaded tasks.
WWDC wasn't  just about software. There was also a super computer to announce....
Yes, It looks like a bin, But this is also the most powerful computer Apple's ever built unlike any other reason computer. Constructed around a central thermal core, the tiny, new Pro - it's only nine inches tall - uses just one, highly efficient fan in the top of the machine to suck air from the bottom and expunge it, keeping the powerful innards cool.
 
 Within that polished aluminium tube shell there's a 12-core Intel Xeon E5 processor that's theoretically twice as fast as that in the last, much bigger Mac Pro, four-channel DDR3 RAM cards running at a blistering 60GBps and two AMD FirePro GPUs which can produce up to seven teraflops of pixel-shifting power.
Displaying the old Mac Pro side by side with the upcoming Mac Pro 2013, Schiller showed that the newest model is less then 1/8 the volume of the original 40-poung Mac Pro. The new desktop will be 9.9-inches tall and 6.6-inches wide, small enough to sit on most desks. At the back of the Mac Pro 2013, there's a gigabit Ethernet, four USB ports and six Thunderbolt ports. The new Mac Pro can sense when a user rotates the computer and automatically lights up the I/O panel to counter any inconvenience cause by the fact that all the ports are located on the back.
"Video editors, musicians, graphic designers count on Mac Pro to get their work done, "Schiller said on the WWDC stage. "We didn't just want to make another version of the same old desktop idea that everyone had"
Apple's Phil Schiller announced that the Mac Pro 2013 will be designed and built in the U.S. Though he mentioned that the new Mac Pro would ship sometime this fall, the new Mac Pro 2013 release date ad is the first confirmation that the redesigned desktop will launch in the fall and not an undetermined " later this year" date. Apple has yet to disclose the Mac Pro 2013 price.
