Quietly and away from the stage at WWDC, the Mac Pro line was updated with faster processor speeds and more memory in its base configuration.
The Quad-Core which will sell for $2500 has one 3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor and 6GB of RAM by using three 2GB memory chips. The 12-Core Mac Pro has two 2.4GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon processors and 12GB of RAM using six 2GB chips. This configuration will sell for $3800.
Perhaps Apple was quiet about this speed bump since the Mac Pro line is still without Thunderbolt. At least they remembered that they have a Pro line. 😉
