Product Description
The Apple Mac Pro Intel Xeon Quad-Core Desktop has been designed to be the fastest Mac ever--and it does not disappoint. Utilizing the latest technologies and the finest eco-friendly materials, this generation of Apple's Mac Pro series continues the legacy of power, speed and expansion it has come to be known for.In addition to the raw power of the 12 cores, the boost performance can get up to 1.5x that of the normal processing speed. With high-performance ATI Radeon HD graphics and ultra fast solid-state drive options your potential speed and performance is further enhanced--with up to 5x faster video performance and 2.5x faster encoding. Expansion is fast and simple as well with the easy-access provided by the well-designed interior of the Mac Pro. It is literally a "snap" to add up to 64 GB of memory, four PCI Express expansion cards and up to 8.0 TB of HDD or SSD storage.With these impressive features and many more, your Mac Pro Intel Xeon 12-Core Desktop will easily tackle nearly anything you throw at it--while also functioning very efficiently. Compliant with Energy Star 5.0 ratings and thoughtfully designed with a highly recyclable aluminum enclosure, as well as being BFR- and PVC-free, it will have a large impact on your workflow, but not so much on the environment.

This New 12 Core Processor is more than I expected.... I've been using the IMAC I3 computer since 2010 and was very satisfied with the performance; my main purpose for the unit was audio production for my Home Studio with Logic Pro. Then my business process moved to video editing and I moved to Apple Final Cut X; and that's where my problem of poor performance due to horsepower...Rendering a 20min video took 32+hours.The same footage with my Mac Pro only took 25min to render... WOWApple got it right....Amazon you guys are the best thing to happen to on-line service!

People should understand that the Mac Pro can be updated to USB 3.0 by purchasing a PCIe card. An Esata6G card can also be added which is faster than USB 3.0 but can,t power peripherals but as this is a desktop computer that should not be too much of a problem as power is close to hand. Also upgrading to a PCIe SSD card is one of the best investments to make with the Mac Pro this will give a super fast boot drive, and by-passes the problem of the HD bays only being 3G in fact the PCIe SSD is faster than an SSD 6G in a 6G compatible computer. OWC can provide 48Gb RAM for the 6 core and up to 96 for the 12 core. 24 Gb is the cheapest option for RAM 3x8Gb sticks (for the 6 core) and for most people this would probably be sufficient, if you are feeling rich go for 3x 16Gb. As you can see there is life left in the Pro and despite its age its still a good bet compared to the latest iMac (which for some tasks IS faster but for some others its not) PLUS it's not designed for the user to make any upgrades to hard drives on any model but the ram is user upgradable on the 27' model. Software that will work with 6 or 12 cores will still be better on the Pro and remember this computer is large for a good reason, heat dispersal.If you are looking for a machine that can have a PCIe boot drive 5 HD bays (there are 4 std bays but the second optical bay if not used can have a 3.5/2.5" HD/ssd caddie put in or a 2.5" HD/SSD plugged into the cable and just hang there.At this time (Feb 2013) i do not believe there is a Thunderbolt solution for the Mac Pro and probably there never will be but this is not such a big deal as the alternative solutions mentioned above give very good connection flexibility.Edit: the sweet spot for photography is the 6 core 3.33 as photoshop only saves using one core so a fast one is quite important, also photoshop only makes good use of 4 cores on many operations but i believe video editing and 3D rendering is better on a 12core machineI have become aware that OWC may soon be selling a PCIe SSD which has two Esata 6G ports built into the card which helps to free up other expansion slots for other uses.

After using a Mac Pro, you couldn't GIVE me an iMac.I love the expandability of this machine. I have multiple hard drives, a Blu-Ray DVD burner, regular DVD burner, all inside the enclosure. (I can change the hard drive in this computer in 30 seconds with no tools!)I have also added expansion cards to give me more FireWire and USB ports.I use this machine for my video work, (for maximum quality I use iMovie 06 and iDVD 11).I also like being able to pick out my own display.The Mac Pro is awesome!
