video editors musicians photographers graphic designers count on products like Mac Pro to get their work done and our most advanced users just want to get their hands on the fastest most expandable mac we make and then that pro is really important to delivering on that we didn't want to just make another version of the same old desktop idea that everyone's had like with macbook air our engineering team has spent quite a bit of time thinking about the technology available today and what could be possible for the future of a pro desktop what would be a new form factor new design new capabilities for another ten years and the engineering team has come up with something truly revolutionary truly radical and this product is so cool well I'm going to go a little over the top and give it a grand introduction that is unlike any introduction we've ever had for product so I am really pleased to give you our closest friends the first glimpse of the next generation of mac pro can't innovate anymore my ass this is thank you this is a machine unlike anything we've ever made both inside and out the processor graphics memory storage are all built around a new unified thermal core that even sounds cool inside is state-of-the-art technology a new generation intel xeon chip up to 12 core configs 256 bit wide floating-point pci express gen3 this is double the cpu performance of the previous generation the fastest memory we've ever put in a product ECC memory 1866 megahertz ddr3 on a four channel controller 60 gigabyte per second bandwidth that's double the performance of the previous generation internal storage is based on flash not any old flash new pcie-based flash 1.25 gigabytes per second reads a gigabyte per second right that's two and a half times faster than any flash we've ever built it's ten times faster than any hard drive we put in a mac pro before all expansion is external you can add storage arrays you can add expansion chassis over the brand-new announced Thunderbolt 2 this 20 gigabit per second up to six Thunderbolt 2 devices per port it's backwards compatible with Thunderbolt 1 and firewire and it's double the performance of the industry standard and industry-leading Thunderbolt one but the place where the team is probably gone the most crazy and done something we've never done before is in graphics this is the first Mac ever that comes standard with dual workstation GPUs AMD FirePro graphics in it you can configure it up to 4096 stream processors 528 gigabytes per second this is two and a half times the graphics performance the last generation and for those of you who use opencl and you all know you should this deliver seven teraflops of compute power to applications of course you want to hook on the latest third-party displays and this supports 4k displays yes multiple streams of 4k displays you can have up to three 4k displays on the built-in dual workstation graphics the final cut pro team is hard at work at a version of autocad pretend that will support all the performance and graphics capabilities of this machine you can be this guy it is a Mac unlike any we've ever made it delivers so much more performance capabilities and expansion than anything we've made and here it is alongside the previous generation the team is packed all this capability inside one-eighth the volume of the previous generation the one thing everyone loved about the old generation Mac Pro is those handles on the top so you can move it around to get access to the i/o well the entire top of the new generation back pro is a handle just put your hand in it you can spin it around get access to the i/o it's all organized beautifully on the back for you there is audio for USB 36 firewire to being driven by 350 are two controllers and you guys who use this stuff know what I'm talking about gigabit ethernet hdmi out and it has a motion sensor so when you turn it it even lights up to show you where the i/o is it is a stunning product this is without doubt the future of the pro desktop it is coming later this year did set as a sneak peak it is designed by brilliant engineers in California and assembled here in the USA and for all of you who are dying to see it put through its paces and what it can do we have a special session tomorrow a lunchtime session for all the developers here where our good friends at Pixar along with developers from the foundry are going to show you some amazing character animation from the upcoming movie monsters you running on the new generation Mac Pro and you want to check it out and that's the Mac Pro back to you Tim
