Key Features

• Quad-Core "Nehalem" CPU: The Mac Pro features a quad-core Intel "Nehalem" processor running at a clockspeed of 2.8GHz, giving you ample power to complete demanding tasks
• Many multicore processors are composed of two separate dies, which means some cached data has to travel outside the processor to get from core to core. The Intel Xeon processor, single-die, 64-bit architecture makes 8MB of fully shared L3 cache readily available to each of the processor cores
• Fast Memory. And Lots of It: System memory is often connected to a processor through a separate I/O controller. But Intel Xeon "Nehalem" processors feature an integrated memory controller
• Power When (and Where) You Need It: The new Mac Pro introduces Turbo Boost: a dynamic performance technology that automatically boosts the processor clock speed based on workload. Turbo Boost increases the speed of the active ones, up to 3.06GHz on this Mac Pro
• The Virtue of Virtual Cores: The Intel Xeon processor supports Hyper-Threading, which allows two threads to run simultaneously on each core. So this Quad-Core Mac Pro presents 8 virtual cores that are recognized by Mac OS X
• Path of Least Resistance: A bidirectional, point-to-point connection called QuickPath Interconnect gives the Intel Xeon processor quick access to the disk, I/O and other Mac Pro subsystems
• Powerfully Efficient: The Mac Pro meets the stringent low power requirements set by the EPA, giving it ENERGY STAR qualification. ENERGY STAR 5.0 sets significantly higher efficiency limits for power supplies and aggressive limits for the computer's typical annual power consumption
• ATI Radeon HD 5770 Graphics Card: A high-performance graphics cards from AMD makes Mac Pro graphics technology up to 5 times faster than ever before. Perfect for motion graphics, 3D modeling, rendering, or animation, the ATI Radeon HD 5770 with 1GB of GDDR5 memory comes standard
• Don't Keep Those Pixels Waiting: The foundation of the Mac Pro graphics architecture is the latest generation of GPUs connected to the system via a fast and wide PCI Express 2.0 16-lane bus
• Graphics on Display: Every Mac Pro graphics card features three display ports for maximum workspace flexibility. Mini DisplayPort outputs connect to a pair of Apple LED Cinema Displays with ease
• Massive storage: The Mac Pro comes with four 3.5-inch internal hard drive bays for an enormous amount of internal storage - up to 8TB when you install four 2TB Serial ATA 3Gbps drives
• Support for SSD Storage: New to the Mac Pro is the option to add up to four 512GB solid-state drives or any combination of solid-state and hard drives. SSD have no moving parts and are capable of accessing data at speeds up to 230MB per second, which is up to twice the speed of hard drives
• Ready to RAID: For data protection and enhanced SATA performance, add the Mac Pro RAID Card with 512MB of RAID cache, a 72-hour cache-protecting battery and hardware RAID levels 0, 1, 5 and 0+1. A new cable less connection and intuitive Apple software make it a snap to install this optional card
• Double-Layer Burner Times Two: The Mac Pro features an open optical drive bay, which can be used to add a second SuperDrive. Adding a second DVD burner allows you to back up data to two double-layer DVDs at once
• UNIX Compliant: What makes Mac OS X a powerful operating system is the technology behind it: a fully certified UNIX foundation. With a rock-solid UNIX infrastructure, it's one of the most secure and stable operating systems on any platform
• 64-bit Power: Mac OS X is to the Mac Pro what a skilled driver is to a car with a powerful engine - a perfect match. Since the Mac Pro runs Mac OS X in 64-bit mode, you can take full advantage of the 64-bit architecture of the Intel Xeon processor inside your new Mac Pro
• Multicore. Multitask: At the heart of the new Mac Pro is a single Intel Xeon "Nehalem" processor with an incredible amount of processing power. Optimized for multicore technology, Mac OS X provides powerful tools that make it easy to reap the benefits of the Mac Pro
• Core Animation: From the cascading windows of Time Machine to the smooth animation of the reflective 3D Dock, stunning visual effects truly set Mac OS X apart. Behind all that beauty is a technology built into Mac OS X called Core Animation
• Xcode Developer Tools: It's the same software used by Apple to produce Mac OS X and it's packed with tools and features, including a powerful graphical debugger, a code editor supporting dozens of languages and the amazing Instruments tool to visualize your application's performance
• Voila! Instant Server: The multitalented Mac Pro can also act as a powerful small-workgroup server. Just add Mac OS X Server. The resulting solution combines Mac ease of use with flexible configuration options and server-class hardware
• Energy Efficient: Even though the Mac Pro is the fastest Mac ever, it is also highly energy efficient. Energy-efficient hardware components work hand in hand with Mac OS X to create a system that can dynamically adjust power consumption to reduce the overall energy used
• Many Harmful Toxins Eliminated: Apple has worked hard to eliminate many of the toxins that are a common part of computer manufacturing. Apple engineers removed brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) from circuit boards, internal cables, connectors, insulators
• Rated EPEAT Gold: The Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool, or EPEAT, evaluates the environmental impact of a product based on how recyclable it is, how much energy it uses and how it's designed and manufactured
• Highly Recyclable: The Mac Pro is built with a recyclable aluminum enclosure. Aluminum is very desirable to recyclers, which means the raw materials used in the Mac Pro can be reused in other products
