Apple Mac Pro – Full information, models, specs and more

16.11.2023

Being the series of the most powerful computers fabricated by Apple, Mac Pro is a workstation and server computers line for professionals who need the workstation-level power, speed and performance. In fact, Apple is known for its design features, and the Mac Pro line is no exception. The Mac Pro is also the most upgradable Mac, offering a high level of internal access. Its internal structure makes adding and replacing components easy. Note than unless you have a specific requirement for high-end features, such as RAID to perform Mac OS X Server functions, video edition, 3-D graphic design, scientific research and so on, you shouldn’t consider buying Mac Pro, and go to Apple’s consumer models, instead.

Apple Mac Pro 5,1 (Mid 2010 Server) – Full Information, Specs

16.11.2023

The Apple Mac Pro 5,1 (Mid 2010 Server), introduced in July 2010, features a single 2.8GHz Quad Core 45nm Xeon W3530 processor. Because it was originally configured with 8GB of DDR3 ECC SDRAM at a processing speed of 1066MHz, its four memory slots are able to support up to 48GB. Soon after its launch, when various benchmarking tests were conducted, the comparative advantage of Xeon’s multiple cores became apparent. While designed for professionals, the 2010 model’s components are easy to reach, and an everyday user can upgrade or replace them, if desired. Among the Mac Pro’s major advances are its improved optical drive speed and an impressive graphics card. (more…)

Mac Pro (2.93GHz Quad Core, Early 2009)

14.02.2019

The Mac Pro (2.93GHz Quad Core, Early 2009) is a built-to-order configuration of the Mac Pro (2.66GHz Quad Core, Early 2009). The difference between this model and the 2.66 original is in the processor speed. Indeed, the new Mac Pro used Intel’s Xeon 3500 or 5500 quad-core processors which were part of the new Nehalem family of microprocessors. A few major architectural innovations had the new processors featuring all four cores on a single die. The architecture thus made its 8MB of L3 cache available to any and all processing cores. The memory controller was on-chip, giving the processor faster access to the main memory. It also eliminated memory latency by up to forty percent. Each new processor had full access to 8MB of L3 as well as a small amount of dedicated L2 cache, whereas the previous Mac Pro had no L3 cache. (more…)
