Apple Unveils New Mac Pro With Up to 12 Processing Cores

First update to the Mac Pro in over 500 days. Looks good. And they’re finally pitching SSDs as being faster, not just more reliable:

For the first time, Mac Pro customers have the option to order a 512GB SSD for the ultimate in reliability and lightning fast performance. With the ability to install up to four SSD drives in the system’s internal drive bays, the new Mac Pro can provide ultra high-speed disk bandwidth and random disk performance, two times faster than the average performance of a standard disk drive.
