8-core Intel XeonĪt 3.5GHz with a Turbo Boost speed of up to 4.0GHz, the 8-core Xeon processor gives you the power to tackle everything from game development to video editing and more.
For instance, single-thread applications operate more efficiently with higher clock speeds, while software that uses multithreading will run best on a processor with more cores. Selecting a processor with the right number of cores for your needs largely depends on the software you’ll be using. And thanks to the power and thermal design of Mac Pro, Intel Xeon W processors can run fully unconstrained, delivering maximum performance. It’s also configurable up to 28 processing cores, allowing it to support up to 1.5TB of memory at 2933MHz. Mac Pro is powered by Intel Xeon W processors, which feature Turbo Boost, Hyper-Threading, up to 66.5MB of shared 元 cache on a single chip, AVX-512 vector instructions, and 64 PCI Express lanes for massive bandwidth.
