Apple Mac Pro
Apple Mac Pro
| Introduction Date: | July 27, 2010* | Discontinued Date: | June 11, 2012 |
| Processors: | 2 (8 Cores) | Architecture: | 64-Bit |
| Geekbench 2 (32): | 12788 | Geekbench 2 (64): | 14136 |
| Geekbench 3 (32): | 1877 | Geekbench 3 (32): | 13917 |
| Geekbench 3 (64): | 2000 | Geekbench 3 (64): | 15462 |
| Geekbench 4 (SC): | 2137 | Geekbench 4 (MC): | 13153 |
| Geekbench 5 (SC): | 474 | Geekbench 5 (MC): | 3425 |
| Processor Speed: | 2.4 GHz | Processor Type: | Q. Core Xeon E5620 x2 |
| Details: | The 64-bit 45-nm Xeon E5620 (Westmere) processor has four independent processor "cores" each with a dedicated 256k level 2 cache, 12 MB of "fully shared" level 3 cache, an integrated memory controller, and "a 128-bit SSE4 SIMD engine". It also supports "Hyper-Threading" -- which "allows two threads to run simultaneously on each core" (so Mac OS X recognizes sixteen total cores on this model, eight real and eight virtual) -- and "Turbo Boost" -- which "automatically boosts the processor speed based on workload" (so if an application is only using one of the four cores it will automatically increase the speed of the core in use and turn off the unused cores), in this case up to 2.66 GHz.

| Turbo Boost: | 2.66 GHz | Custom Speeds: | 2.66 (6), 2.93 GHz (6)* |
| Processor Upgrade: | LGA 1366 Sockets | FPU: | Integrated |
| System Bus Speed: | 5.86 GT/s* | Cache Bus Speed: | 2.4 GHz (Built-in) |
| ROM/Firmware Type: | EFI | EFI Architecture: | 64-Bit |
| L1 Cache: | 32k/32k x8 | L2/L3 Cache: | 256k (x8), 12 MB (x2)* |
| RAM Type: | PC3-8500 DDR3 ECC | Min. RAM Speed: | 1066 MHz |
| Details: | Uses "1066 MHz DDR3 ECC SDRAM" (PC3-8500) modules. Also see: How do you upgrade the RAM in the "Mid-2010" Mac Pro models? How much RAM do they actually support? |
| Standard RAM: | 6 GB | Maximum RAM: | 128 GB* |
| Details: | By default, 6 GB of RAM is installed as six 1 GB modules. Two slots free. *Apple officially supports 32 GB of RAM in this model, but as first noted by OWC, it actually could support 64 GB of RAM. Later, OWC bumped this unofficial maximum RAM to 96 GB running Mac OS X 10.6 or 10.7, and yet again to 128 GB, but only when running a 64-bit version of Windows XP or later or Linux. Mac OS X only can support 96 GB of RAM. In the US (and many other countries), site sponsor Other World Computing sells memory -- as well as other upgrades -- for this Mac Pro.

| Motherboard RAM: | None | RAM Slots: | 8* |
| Video Card: | Radeon HD 5770 | VRAM Type: | GDDR5 SDRAM |
| Details: | By default, an ATI Radeon HD 5770 with 1 GB of GDDR5 memory is installed in a double-wide, 16-lane PCI Express 2.0 graphics slot. The card has two Mini DisplayPorts and one dual-link DVI port. By custom configuration it also can be equipped with an ATI Radeon HD 5870 which also has 1 GB of GDDR5 memory for an additional US$200 or two ATI Radeon HD 5770 video cards for an additional US$250.

| Standard VRAM: | 1 GB | Maximum VRAM: | 1 GB |
| Display Support: | Up to 6 Displays* | Resolution Support: | 2560x1600* |
| Details: | *Apple advertises that this system is capable of supporting up to six displays but notes that "connecting more than three displays requires installation of two ATI Radeon HD 5770 video cards". Apple also notes that there is "a maximum of two DVI-based displays per graphics card." By default, one ATI Radeon HD 5770 video card is installed and this default video card is capable of supporting three displays -- digital resolutions up to 2560x1600 and analog resolutions up to 2048x1536. |
| 2nd Display Support: | Dual/Mirroring | 2nd Max. Resolution: | 2560x1600 |
| Details: | The ATI Radeon HD 5770 is capable of supporting three 30-inch displays with a resolution of 2560x1600 in either dual display or mirrored mode. Also see: Apple Cinema Displays. |
