Specifications for the new Mac Pro have been released: and it appears this machine is going to have a little bit of processing power handy.

A pair of Intel 45-nano, 12MB L2 cache'd, quad core 5400 series Xeon processors are going to supply 8 cores of parellel CPU power, running at speeds up to 3.2 GHz. The Mac Pro will also support up to a (whopping) 4 TB of interal storage, and 32GB of 800 MHz DDR2 ECC FB-DIMM RAM.

“The new Mac Pro is the fastest Mac we’ve ever made,” according to Philip Schiller, an Apple Product Marketing guy. “With 3.2 GHz 8-core Xeon processing, a 1600 MHz front side bus and 800 MHz memory, the new Mac Pro uses the fastest Intel Xeon architecture on the market.”

Standard with the Mac Pro is also a HD 2600 XT -- but the system can handle up to 4 video cards.

The price for all this power is around $2700, for 2.8 GHz model. And that's without a monitor. You can read more about this fancy new Mac here.
