"With the latest Xeon processors, dual FirePro GPUs, ECC memory, PCIe-based flash and Thunderbolt 2, all built around a revolutionary thermal core, the next generation Mac Pro is the most radical Mac yet," says Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing Philip Schiller. "All this performance and expandability is packed into a dramatic new design thats one-eighth the volume, and best of all, it will be assembled here in the USA."

The 2013 Mac Pro is built around a unified thermal core that allows the computer to efficiently share its entire thermal capacity across all of its processors. The result is a pro desktop with powerful performance packed into a design that as Mr. Schiller noted is one-eighth the volume of the current Mac Pro. Next generation Intel Xeon E5 processors with up to 12 core configurations deliver double the floating point performance. With two AMD FirePro workstation-class GPUs, Apple says the new Mac Pro is up to 2.5 times faster than the current Mac Pro and delivers up to an amazing 7 teraflops of compute power. The new Mac Pro also features PCIe-based flash storage that is claimed to be up to 10 times faster than conventional desktop hard drives and supports the latest four-channel ECC DDR3 memory running at 1866 MHz to deliver up to 60GBps of memory bandwidth - based on preproduction Mac Pro hardware technical specifications as of June 2013. With all that power, Apple says the new Mac Pro supports seamlessly editing full-resolution 4K video while simultaneously rendering effects in the background.

Apple says the new Mac Pro is the most expandable Mac ever built, with six Thunderbolt 2 ports that can deliver up to 20Gbps of bandwidth to each external device, the Mac Pro is indeed a peripheral support powerhouse for connecting to multiple PCI expansion chassis, audio and video breakout boxes, external displays including 4K desktop displays, and so forth. Each of the six Thunderbolt 2 ports in turn can support up to six daisy-chained devices, giving users the ability to connect up to 36 high-performance peripherals. Thunderbolt 2 is also completely backwards compatible with existing Thunderbolt peripherals, and allows you to transfer data between Macs faster and easier than ever before.
The next generation Mac Pro will be available later this year, but Apple has not yet revealed price points.
