Professional velocity:
8-core or quad-core Mac Pro workstation
Meet the latest addition to the Mac Pro family: The world’s first 3.0GHz, 8-core Intel Xeon-based Mac Pro. Consider the bar officially raised.
Performance standard:
No matter which Mac Pro model you choose — 8-core or quad-core Intel Xeon — each delivers advanced performance, workstation graphics, and unparalleled expansion in so many possible configurations, your imagination has finally met its match.
Eight cores or four:
Opt for the 8-core Mac Pro and you get the power of two Quad-Core Intel Xeon “Clovertown” processors running at 3.0GHz. Or choose a quad-core Mac Pro featuring two Dual-Core Intel Xeon “Woodcrest” processors and decide how fast they fly: 2.0GHz, 2.66GHz, or 3.0GHz. At 3.0GHz, the quad-core Mac Pro runs up to 2x faster than the Power Mac G5 Quad.
Unparalleled expansion:
Mac Pro accommodates up to four drives and 3TB of storage, offers eight DIMM slots to fill with up to 16GB of RAM, and provides up to two SuperDrives. It also gives you four PCI Express slots and lots of I/O options for ultimate flexibility.
Killer graphics:
Looking for high-performance workstation graphics? You’ve come to the right place. Three graphics card options let you choose the card that meets your specific needs. And every one lets you connect up to two displays, including at least one 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display.
More than 33 million possible configurations:
You’re the expert. With build-to-order options available for processors, graphics cards, memory, hard drives, optical drives, and other features and components, the über-configurable Mac Pro lets you build your personal dream machine. The Mac you’ve been waiting for.
Intel Xeon:
Inside each Mac Pro reside either two Quad-Core or two Dual-Core Intel Xeon processors. Running at up to 3.0GHz, they bring industry-leading 64-bit performance to every Mac Pro.
Design:
With its multicore Intel Xeon processor lineup and its tour de force design, Mac Pro revolutionizes desktop usability, functionality, and accessibility. It provides four hard drive bays and a cable-free installation process — with no cables or connectors to trouble you. A tool-less PCI bracket simplifies the installation and removal of expansion cards. The double-wide graphics slot means you don’t have to sacrifice a valuable expansion slot. Eight FB-DIMM slots on two riser cards offer quick, easy memory installation. And you’ll find plenty of ports up front for added convenience — including a FireWire 400 port, a FireWire 800 port, and two USB 2.0 ports.
Graphics:
Motion. Aperture. Maya. Final Cut Pro. PyMOL. Demanding graphics deserve serious attention. The type they get from Mac Pro. Delivering high-end workstation graphics and built-in support for the 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display, Mac Pro systems help your dreams come true. Right before your eyes.
Expansion:
Whether you’re editing feature films or scoring them, composing symphonies or visualizing mass spectrometry analyses, Mac Pro makes it easier than ever to create your personal dream machine: A powerful system that not only meets your needs today but, thanks to an ingeniously designed enclosure, expands easily to meet tomorrow’s challenges as well.
Performance:
Powered by two Quad-Core or two Dual-Core Intel Xeon processors — at speeds up to 3.0GHz — Mac Pro fulfills your dreams of world-class performance, workstation graphics, and outstanding opportunities for future expandability.
