"Can't innovate any more, my ass" was the comment from senior vice president of worldwide marketing Phil Schiller as he unveiled the new computer.
Sporting a 12-core, 256-bit Intel Xeon E5 processor that is up to twice as fast as the previous model, the new Mac Pro also comes with four-channel DDR3 memory running at 1866MHz and delivering up to 60GB/s memory bandwith – again, twice as fast as its predecessor.
These specifications mean the new Pro will be perfect for 3D modellers, film-makers and designers in general – any profession which taxes graphical processing power will be safely coddled by the twin AMD FirePro (a GPU with each carrying up to 6GB of dedicated VRAM) and the Pro's capacity to render full-resolution 4K video (4K is a resolution of around 4096x2169 – compared to the 1920x1080 of HD).
It also comes with six Thunderbolt 2 ports and four USB ports, a Gigabit Ethernet and a HDMI out.
The Pro will also use next-generation PCle Flash Storage
