2013 Mac Pro - Processor
The 2013 Mac Pro will be sporting the newest Intel Xeon E5 processor. Apple offers two base configurations, a quad-core and six-core, but the Mac Pro is configurable up to 12 cores upon purchase. The hyper-threading advances made in the chipset will allow users up to 24 virtual cores. There are not really a lot of downsides here; developers may potentially have a hard time coming up with applications to fully utilize the large amounts of horsepower this processor can put out.
