Product Details
Apple Mac Pro 3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon Desktop Computer, Model MD770LLA
Features:
- Choose your cores: 4, 6, or 12
The Mac Pro offers two advanced processor options from Intel. The Quad-Core
Intel Xeon processor is available in a single-processor, quad-core configuration
at 3.2GHz. For even greater speed and power, choose a 6-Core Intel Xeon processor.
Since the Mac Pro comes with either one or two processors, you can have a
6-core Mac Pro at up to 3.33GHz, or, to max out your performance, a 12-core
system at up to 3.06GHz
- The single-die advantage
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.
That’s an inefficient way to access information. Enter the Quad-Core
and 6-Core Intel Xeon processors. Their single-die, 64-bit architecture makes
8MB or 12MB of fully shared L3 cache readily available to each of the processor
cores. The result is fast access to cache data and greater application performance.
Combine that with the other technological advances and you get a Mac Pro that’s
up to 1.5x faster than the previous generation
- Fast memory. And lots of it
System memory is often connected to a processor through a separate I/O controller.
But Intel Xeon processors feature an integrated memory controller. By connecting
memory directly to the processor, the Mac Pro processors have faster access
to data stored in memory, and memory latency is reduced. The integrated memory
controller, along with fast DDR3 ECC SDRAM at either 1066MHz or 1333MHz, gives
the Mac Pro an increase in memory bandwidth over previous generations. More
bandwidth allows for more data to be fed to the processor faster, helping
each core spend its time processing data, not waiting for information to arrive.
And Error Correction Code (ECC) corrects single-bit errors and detects multiple-bit
errors automatically. That’s especially important in mission-critical
and compute-intensive environments
- Power when (and where) you need it
The Mac Pro features Turbo Boost, a dynamic performance technology that automatically
boosts the processor clock speed based on workload. If you’re using an
application that doesn’t need every core, Turbo Boost increases the speed
of the active ones, up to 3.33GHz on a 12-core Mac Pro, and up to 3.6GHz on
a 6-core system
- Up to 24 virtual cores
The Intel Xeon processors support Hyper-Threading, which allows two threads
to run simultaneously on each core. So, for example, a 12-core Mac Pro presents
24 virtual cores that are recognized by OS X. Performance is enhanced because
Hyper-Threading enables the processor to take better advantage of the execution
resources available in each core
- Path of least resistance
A bidirectional, point-to-point connection — called QuickPath Interconnect
— gives the Intel Xeon processors quick access to the disk, I/O, and
other Mac Pro subsystems. In dual-processor Mac Pro models, there’s a
QuickPath Interconnect between the two processors as well. This connection
acts as a direct pipeline, so processor-to-processor data doesn’t need
to travel to the I/O hub first. It’s another way the Mac Pro boosts performance
across the board
- 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
