After hearing speculation about new editions of iLife, iWork and iMac scheduled for this year, now it is the Mac Pro's turn to become the target of rumors of a future update. THE MacRumors points to a section on the Apple website that offers a machine reservation service for payment and withdrawal at any of its Retail Stores, and apparently all models of the company's workstation have begun to disappear from several of them.
Of course, not all stores experience problems in this regard: even for online shopping, Apple promises to deliver any standard configuration of the Mac Pro within 24 hours, while some stores still offer machines with only one processor for pickup. There has been talk of an update for them for a long time, but the renewal would have been hampered in the past by demand problems suffered by Intel with its Xeon line.
It is believed that the new Macs Pro will have configurations with processors of at least 6 cores, which would make it possible to assemble machines with up to 12 physical and 24 logical processing cores. In addition, Apple should update its offer of professional graphics cards, add new USB 3.0 / FireWire interfaces and offer an SSD as a system disk in addition to the other four bays for common hard drives, in a similar way to what exists today in Xserve .
