“We have done some research and discovered that Apple will finally be launching their new Mac Pro,” Steve Lo reports for M.I.C. Gadget. “There are a variety of new technologies being utilized, so we have gotten our best in field experts to talk to our sources.”
“So as we predicted some months back, we had said that Apple was experimenting with a variety of new tech to put into their new machines. They had been investing a lot of time and effort into making both a proper professional machine and a possible Xserve replacement,” Lo reports. “By merging the Mac Pro line with the Xserve, they simplify the professional market and make it so their production lines are also vastly streamlined and simplified. This saves Apple a lot of cash and makes it less confusing for both enterprise and professional customers.”
Lo reports, “We totally believe that there will be no rack mountable version. The market is very small and specialized… Apple does not wish to be present in the enterprise market as the units sell very poorly in comparison to the other products they sell.”
Upcoming New Features and Specs for The New Mac Pro:
• Intel Xeon E5 series processors, six and eight core possible
• 1600 MHZ memory with 8 channels (25% more physical slot capacity)
