Apple released a lot of new hardware this month, and while I was able to post Geekbench results for the new fairly quickly, it took a little while longer to get Geekbench results for the new Mac Pro. While other folks, such as, have done an excellent job compiling benchmark results for the latest Mac Pros, I still wanted to post Geekbench results for not just the latest Mac Pros, but all of the Mac Pros that Apple has produced. Setup I've gathered Geekbench scores for the all of the Mac Pros that Apple has released. Scores were collected from the for Mac Pros with standard processors (i.e., no processor upgrades, overclocked processors, or Hackintoshes).

I've reported the average overall score for each model and processor combination. If you haven't used before here's how it measures performance. Geekbench compares a computer's performance against a 'baseline system' (currently a Power Mac G5 @ 1.6GHz in Geekbench 2). A computer that has the same performance as the baseline system scores 1000 in Geekbench. A computer that's twice as fast as the baseline scores 2000 while a computer that's twice as slow scores 500. Finally, Geekbench 2 only measures processor and memory performance which is why models with the same processors but different video cards have roughly the same score.

Mac Pro Benchmarks Mac Pro (Early 2009) Intel Xeon X5570 2.93 GHz (8 cores) 14904. Conclusions What's interesting is the performance of the 2008 and 2009 entry-level Mac Pro; both Macs have roughly the same performance, but the newer Mac Pro has a lower processor frequency and fewer cores. The new Nehalem architecture is clearly better than the older Core architecture. While it would be nice if the new entry-level Mac Pro was faster than the old entry-level Mac Pro, the new Mac Pro is cheaper, a change that makes more sense given the state of the economy.

The new mid- and high-end Mac Pros, on the other hand, are insanely fast (and insanely expensive). Ev3 education edition. Currently it's these models that are dominating most of the. The only computer that can beat the Mac Pros' score is a.

There’s flash storage, and then there’s next-generation PCIe-based flash storage. We’re talking storage that’s up to 2.4 times faster than the fastest SATA-based solid-state drive and up to 10 times faster than a 7200-rpm SATA hard drive. Most flash storage systems connect via SATA buses designed for slower spinning hard drives. But we designed the new Mac Pro around new PCIe-based flash controller technology to deliver the fastest solid-state drives available standard in a desktop computer. Thunderbolt 2. Thunderbolt combines PCI Express and DisplayPort into one high-speed, versatile I/O technology.

And with Mac Pro, we’re jumping even further ahead. Thunderbolt 2 delivers twice the throughput, providing up to 20Gb/s of bandwidth to each external device. So you’re more than ready for the next generation of high-performance peripherals, without being limited by the number of expansion slots inside your computer. You can connect massive amounts of storage, add a PCI expansion chassis, and work with the latest external displays — including 4K desktop displays and peripheral devices capable of broadcast monitoring in 4K. And since each Thunderbolt 2 port allows you to daisy-chain up to six peripherals, you can go all out by plugging in up to 36 external devices via Thunderbolt 2 alone. Apple Certified Refurbished Products (1) What are Apple Certified Refurbished Products? Apple Certified Refurbished Products are pre-owned Apple products that undergo Apple's stringent refurbishment process prior to being offered for sale.
