| 08-01-08 / 23:00 : New MacPro (cjed) | Apple presented new Mac Pro based on the new Quad core Xeon at 45 nm with 12Mb of cache per processor (up to 2 processors - 8 cores - at 3,2 Ghz). The bus is up to 1600 Mhz (800 Mhz memory) and graphics cards available are Radeon X2600 XT 256Mb DDR3 (standard), or GeForce 8800GT 512Mb DDR3, or QuadroFX 5600 1,5Gb DDR3. The standard hard drive is a 320 Gb SATA (3Gb/s). No Blu-Ray however.
By removing on processor from the standard configuration (that is one Quad core at 2,8 Ghz) the price drops to 2049 euros. With an external 20" LCD screen (non Apple) it is around 2400 euros. An actual 20" imac (only Dual Core, at 2,4 Ghz, not 64bits, 4Mb cache, 1Gb memory instead 2Mb for the MacPro, Radeon HD2600 Pro instead of XT, half the bus speed) is priced 1449 euros. There is still to know if imacs will be revamped during the Macworld (QuadCore at 2,8 Ghz ?). Moreover a combi MacPro + external screen would allow to keep the G4 (and two inputs on LCD screens - DVI and VGA - so no switch required). | | | Comments | | Write a comment | |
