Gizmodo reports on the new Mac Pro personal computer which was recently introduced by Apple's executives. 'Apple CEO Steve Jobs and Apple's Senior Vice President of Worldwide Product Marketing Phillip Schiller today introduced the Mac Pro, an upgrade to Apple's highest end personal computers, each now using two Intel Xeon processors with speeds of up to 3GHz. Using the same case as its G5 predecessor, the Mac Pro will contain two optical drives and will run Intel Woodcrest processors that are based on Core technology. Also on board will be a 4MB shared L2 cache running Apple's 128-bit vector engine. Because of the increased efficiency and less heat output of these processors, less cooling is necessary, resulting in space for more drives. In fact, now there's room for four hard drives, with enough room for up to 2TB of internal storage.'
