One 3.33GHz 6-Core 45-nm Xeon processor powers the Mac Pro "6-Core" 3.33GHz (Mid-2010) with 8MB of "fully shared" level 3 cache.
It is configured with 16GB of 1066MHz DDR3 ECC SDRAM, 128GB SSD + 1TB (7200 RPM, 32 MB cache) 3Gb/s Serial ATA hard drive, an 18X dual-layer "SuperDrive" and an ATI Radeon HD 5770 with 1024 MB of GDDR5 memory.
The expansion includes two external 5.25" "optical" bays (one free by default), four internal 3.5" "cable-free, direct attach" hard drive bays (three free by default), and four PCIe 2.0 slots (one free PCIe 2.0 x16 slot and two free PCIe 2.0 x4 slots with the default single graphics card installed).
Ports include five USB 2.0 ports, four Firewire "800" ports, dual Gigabit Ethernet, a Mini DisplayPort and a dual-link DVI port. Bluetooth 2.1+EDR and AirPort Extreme (802.11g/n) are standard.
It also replaces the frontside bus with a new "QuickPath Interconnect" (QPI) system described as a "bidirectional, point-to-point connection" that provides "quick access to the disk, I/O, and other Mac Pro subsystems".
Four PCIe 2.0 slots, four Firewire "800" ports, and a redesigned interior case with the processors and memory on a removable "tray".
Processors: 1 (6 Cores)
Architecture: 64-Bit
Processor Speed: 3.33 GHz
Processor Type: 6-Core Xeon
The 64-bit 45-nm Xeon processor has four independent processors, "cores", each with 8 MB of "fully shared" level 3 cache, an integrated memory controller, and "a 128-bit SSE4 SIMD engine". It also supports "Hyper-Threading", -- which "allows two threads to run simultaneously on each core", and "Turbo Boost", -- which "automatically boosts the processor speed based on workload" (so if an application is only using one of the four cores it will automatically increase the speed of the core in use and turn off the unused cores).
