Lab tested: New Mac Pro is the speedster we've been waiting for (finally)

In case you missed it, the new Mac Pro is in the Macworld Lab, and we have our first set of test results. Our tests of a $6799 configure-to-order (CTO) Mac Pro show?as expected?that the new system is better suited to folks making their living using professional apps like Final Cut Pro than everyday users working in consumer apps like iMovie.

The new Mac Pro comes in two standard configurations. The entry-level $2999 model features a 3.7GHz quad-core Xeon E5 processor, 256GB of PCIe-connected flash storage, 12GB of RAM, and dual AMD FirePro D300 graphics cards with 2GB of video memory each. The stock $3999 model has a 6-core Xeon E5 processor running at 3.5GHz, 256GB of flash storage, 16GB of RAM, and dual AMD FirePro D500 graphics with 3GB of video memory each.

We tested a Mac Pro provided by Apple that was customized to use an 8-core 3.0GHz Xeon E5 processor, 512GB of flash storage, 32GB of RAM, and dual AMD FirePro D700 graphics with 6GB of video memory for each card.
