Processor Speed:

2.4 GHz

Processor Type:

6 Core Xeon E5645 x2

Details:

The 64-bit 32-nm Xeon E5645 (Westmere) processor has six 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 twenty four total cores on this model, twelve real and twelve 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 2.67 GHz.

*Apple officially supports 64 GB of RAM in this model, but third-parties have been able to successfully upgrade it to 96 GB of RAM running Mac OS X 10.6 or 10.7. As first discovered by site sponsor Other World Computing this model even can support 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.
