They became known characteristics of processors for Mac Pro line of the year 2012

Mac Pro line upgrade should not be expected until early 2012. This postponement is linked with Apple's plans for new processors from Intel, Sandy Bridge E. They also will replace the current generation of chips in the Mac Pro computers in the first quarter of next year.
Now it became know exactlyExactly which processors, and at what price we should expect in a professional line of Mac computers. For example, a 2-CPU configuration Mac Pro will use a series of Xeon E5-2600, and computers with a single processor - chips E5-1600 series.
The current Mac Pro models use variation E5620, X5650 and X5670 (at the buyer's choice) for $ 387, $ 996 and $ 1440 respectively. Now E5-2600 series chips will cost an average of $ 100 more for each dual-processor Mac Pro models. Although their efficiency increased by well architecture, it compensates and increase in price, and a lower incidence of each of the two chips. As a result, the value of the new dual-processor desktop Mac should be around $ 3499, $ 4999 or $ 5999 in Depending on the type of processor (6 or 8-core nuclear at 2, 2.4, or 2.6 GHz) and common configuration.
More modest single-processor line Mac Pro, is likely to be equipped with chips E5-1600 series. The price of this series of processors are not too grown up, but the number of cores and the clock speed have been changed. Only E5-1660 model for top-end single-processor Mac Pro configuration is different in characteristics from the current W3680 (the same 6-core, 3.3-GHz chip). But this is offset by the increased speed of the acceleration mode Turbo and L3-cache.
