Today, a little less the a week before the beginning of the MacWorld Conference in San Francisco, Apple has announced the availability of a new Mac Pro.
Apple states that this is the fastest Mac Pro every, up to 2x faster than the previous Mac Pro, with new Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors up to 3.2GHz.
There are also new high performance graphics cards available:
All-new high-performance graphics cards from ATI and NVIDIA make Mac Pro graphics technology even more cutting edge. The standard graphics card â an ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT with 256MB of GDDR3 memory, PCI Express 2.0, and two dual-link DVI ports â provides great performance for typical creative applications. And you get dual 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display support out of the box.
For motion graphics, 3D modeling, rendering, or animation, youâll need the greater graphics horsepower offered by the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT with 512MB of GDDR3 memory and latest-generation NVIDIA GPU technology.
The optional NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 graphics card is the ultimate workstation-class graphics card available, with a massive 1.5GB of GDDR3 memory and a 3D stereo port for stereo-in-a-window applications.
There will be up to 4 tb of storage available with the new Mac Pros and it’s being reported that the standard 8-core configuration starts at $2,799.
