Moreover, the Late 2013 Mac Pro uses 74 percent less Aluminum and 84 percent less packaging. For example, it uses 68 percent less power at idle (43W). While the jury is still out on whether the GPUs and SSD in the Late 2013 Mac Pro are upgradeable (both are socketed), we now know with certainty that the Xeon E5 processors are.Īdditionally, Apple published the Mac Pro Environmental Report (pdf), which details some impressive green advances. Surprising? No, but expect that OWC will find a way to deliver Xeon E5 processor upgrades for less than Apple. So, one-third more, though slightly slower cores resulted in a palpable 30 percent increase in performance. They add that their 8-core upgraded new Mac Pro offers better performance than a previous generation 12-core model. “Our benchmarking showed a significant 30 percent multi-processor performance bump with the upgraded processor,” write Jarrod and Ron for OWC. Now, OWC benchmarked a shiny new, and stock, 6-core (E5-1650 V2 3.50GHz with 12MB) Mac Pro, then installed an 8-core upgrade (E5-2667 V2 3.30GHz with 25MB) in the same unit and spun the numbers again. While they believed that meant easy upgrades, OWC withheld judgement until they could actually test the possibility. Other World Computing (OWC), perhaps the number one purveyor of Mac upgrades and peripherals, discovered last week that the multicore Xeon E5 processors inside the Late 2013 Mac Pro sit on a standard LGA 2011 socket. Now, a highly respected source has confirmed that the Late 2013 Mac Pro CPU is very upgradeable, indeed.
Otherwise, use the Intel® UHD brand.Ĭheck for systems that support Intel® Identity Protection Technology (Intel® IPT).As you were celebrating the holidays, Tapscape was busy, busy, busy documenting just how upgrade and easy to repair Apple’s new professional desktop is. Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics only: to use the Intel® Iris® Xe brand, the system must be populated with 128-bit (dual channel) memory. Actual TDP may be lower if not all I/Os for chipsets are used. System and Maximum TDP is based on worst case scenarios.
Processors that support 64-bit computing on Intel® architecture require an Intel 64 architecture-enabled BIOS. See for more information and applicability of this technology. Max Turbo Frequency refers to the maximum single-core processor frequency that can be achieved with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology.
