History of Apple: 2009 – The Most Significant Events

10.10.2017

In 2009, iPhone, iPod and Mac had their moments. Indeed, every desktop and laptop in Apple’s product line underwent an update. The Mac mini saw its first update in a year-and-a-half in March, and in October, Apple updated the Mac mini again, this time adding faster processors and doubling memory capacity. Laptops remained a crucial part of Apple’s success, with the MacBook, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air offerings all seeing changes. And for the 2009 fiscal year, Apple’s revenue rose 12 percent while its income increased 18 percent over 2008. Apple’s most significant hardware release in 2009 may have been one of its last—the iMac overhaul that included the 27-inch, Core i5-equipped model. Powered by a quad-core processor running at 2.66GHz, this all-in-one desktop tops the performance of a Mac Pro. (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…)
