Pros
- Highly expandable
- Up to 24 virtual processing cores available to applications that can use them
Cons
- Many applications perform better with fewer-but-faster processors
Manufacturer’s Description
The new Mac Pro introduces Turbo Boost: a dynamic performance technology that automatically boosts the processor clock speed based on workload. If you're using an application that doesn't need every core, Turbo Boost shuts off the idle cores while simultaneously increasing the speed of the active ones.
