Mac Pro – MD771LL/A – MacPro5,1 – A1289

Apple Mac Pro Twelve Core 2012

About this Mac

The Mac Pro in 2012 had some difference from its predecessors but was certainly packed with the more power to drive your work. The differences include its Turbo Boost capacity for2.4 GHz to up to 2.67 GHz. Also there was the disappearance of the FireWire “400” ports but not a reduction in the overall number of FireWire ports as the two FireWire “400” ports were replaced by 2 more FireWire “800” ports, a similar exercise was carried out on the PCIe expansion slots as four PCI e 2.0 slots (one free PCIe 2.0 x16 slot and two free PCIe 2.0 x4 slots with the default single graphics card installed). The Mac Pro was still the most expensive of all products but its price was worth the quality of the machine.
