Scheduled to be released later this year, apple has unveiled their long-overdue redesign of the mac pro at the WWDC conference. Housed in a 9.9 x 6.6 inch cylindrical volume, the desktop computer integrates up to 12 processors in a unified thermal core, engineered around workstation graphics with dual GPUs, PCI express-based flash storage, high-performance thunderbolt 2, new-generation xeon processors, ultra-fast memory, and support for 4k video. Two times faster than its predecessor, the unit provides up to 40gb/s of PCI express bandwidth, 60gb/s of memory bandwidth, and includes a four-channel ddr3 memory controller running at 1866mhz.
