Are you excited about the imminent Apple desktop refresh? Well you should be considering recent rumors regarding some of Apple’s upcoming desktops. Today we’re looking at the Xeon Mac Pro which is rumored to arrive in 2010 with a lot of interesting specs. The price, of course, hasn’t been leaked yet.
Sure a desktop is not as interesting at this time compared with an all-in-one iMac or an ultraportable Mac Mini. And let’s not forget that Windows 7 is in the house! Or at least it will be next week and everybody in the computer business already has new products ready to be launched in the upcoming weeks. And among these desktops you’ll find decent all-in-one PCs equipped with touchscreen displays.
So why should anyone buy the Xeon Mac Pro? According to unconfirmed rumors the new Xeon Mac Pro Apple has big plans for the desktop. Here are some of the features said to be found in the next Xeon Mac Pro:
- 6-core 12-thread Intel Xeon processor with 32nm processes and 12MB of shared cache
- Up to 128GB of RAM
- 10Gbit/s Ethernet connectivity
- Custom motherboard with support for 8GB and 16GB memory modules
- Low voltage CPU
What do you say now? You have to admit that a hexacore processor and up to 128GB of RAM sound more than interesting. Think of all the cool tricks your desktop could be doing at the same time for you! Could you refuse such a machine?
Well, sure you could! First of all it’s an Apple product and although it inspires confidence it is also coming with a higher price. Considering the harsh economic times, spending a lot on money on a desktop might not be quite a good idea. Instead you can choose an all-in-one solution from the competition. Windows Vista will surely die in the near future and Windows 7 is a much better OS version. Secondly, let’s not forget that a desktop is not that portable. So you’ll also want to buy a netbook and/or a laptop to be able to work while on the go. Why not replace the desktop with a powerful but ultraportable laptop instead? That way you’ll be able to take all your precious information with you at all times, and keep working on the go.
We’ll have this discussion in the future as soon as the Xeon Mac Pro will be confirmed.
