Mac Pros Get Speed Bumps

ByMike Moffit

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. 😉

    *iOS 4.1*
    Today, Apple introduced iOS 4.1. Steve Jobs noted a lot of fixes and new features, including:

    * various bug fixes for Proximity, Bluetooth and iPhone 3G
    * High Dynamic Range photos
    * HD video upload over Wi-Fi
    * TV show rentals
    * Game Center

    High Dynamic Range photos consist of essentially three separate images so that it will gather midranges, shadows and highlights effectively. As I mentioned earlier, HD video uploads and TV show rentals, and Game Center–a hub for multiplayer games.

    iOS 4.1 will be available next week for iPhone and iPod touch. More on this then!

    *iOS 4.2 for iPad*
    The iPad should feel special, because it’s getting its own (i)OS update. iOS 4.2 is all about the iPad.

    This is why it’s hot:

    * wireless printing for iOS on your iPad
    * AirPlay to stream video and audio over Wi-Fi from your iPad
    * add apps to folders, just like iPhone, as well as multitasking

    The update will be available in November, and it’s free for iPad users. We’ll be writing more on this as soon as we get our hands on it.
