At Apple’s World Wide Developer Conference, Apple have revealed the new Mac Pro and its specifications. It’s going to be powered by two or four 2.66 GHz 64-bit dual-core Intel Xeon processors (that’s some seriously high end Intel kit) and have 1 GB RAM as standard on the less powerful model. The Mac Pro isn’t going to be cheap (as you can see from the picture, courtesy of Engadget), but it certainly is a very powerful machine.
The Mac Pro seems to be keeping its predecessor the Power Mac’s design but really upping the specification. The Mac Pro is now the last Macintosh to be upgraded to use Intel processors. We first saw the Mac mini going Intel, followed by the MacBook Pro, the MacBook and now the Mac Pro.
At Apple’s WWDC, Apple also previewed the upcoming update to their flagship operating system Mac OS X - codenamed Leopard. You can see a sneak preview that Apple have put together on their site.
As ever, Gizbuzz will keep you up to date with any more news that comes out of the WWDC, including of course whether the rumours of an ‘iPhone’ will be confirmed.
