MID-2012 Mac Pro Review

by Ian Osborne 0Comments

This isn’t the update we were hoping for. In fact, the mid-2012 Mac Pro is barely updated at all. As the last generation of Mac Pro was released in August 2010, we’ve waited almost two years for this refresh, yet its stats have barely moved and innovative technologies introduced in other Macs have failed to make it to Apple’s premium computer.

There are now only two non-server configurations of Mac Pro, the mid-priced model from the previous generation having been dropped. The entry-level model is $2,499 and features a single 3.2GHz quad-core Intel Xeon processor as standard, up from 2.8GHz. The high-end Mac Pro retains its two six-core Xeons, but they’ve actually taken a step backward, running at 2.4GHz instead of 2.66GHz. The price has also dropped, to $3,799 from $4,999. The 2012 Mac Pros have 6GB and 12GB of onboard memory respectively, which is double that offered by their predecessors.
