hanschien Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I was snooping around some files after updating to 10.4.8 and noticed a new string in /System/Library/SystemProfiler/SPPlatformReporter.spreporter/Contents/Resources/SPMachineTypes.plist MacPro is listed twice MacPro1,1 PacPro1,1,Quad I wonder if that means there is going to be another Mac Pro release without quad processing or just the upcoming Mac Pro with 2 x Core 2 Quadro.

aed0101 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 They run Woodcrest processors. And both Conroe and Woodrest use the same Core architecture. Woodcrest is just a server CPU. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Xeon#Du...architecture.29 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/29210-conroe-mac-pro/#findComment-200946 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearcat Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 i was refering to the Core 2 family not the Woodcrest family of processors. if/when they put the Core 2 family in the mac pros it will be a great day. Woodcrest is just a codename. The processors in the Mac Pro ARE Core2Duo architecture chips, packaged for a LGA771 socket. This socket is typically used in server motherboards. These boards require 4 channel FB-DIMM memory and are more expensive then desktop boards. They run at 1333 FSB. What everyone here is hoping for is an Apple machine that uses a Core2Duo architecture chip, packaged for a LGA775 socket, which are normally used in desktop boards which use 2 channel DDR 667/800 memory. The codename for this chip was Conroe. Hopefully also running at a FSB speed of 1333. EDIT: Sorry, Conroes run at 1066 FSB Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/29210-conroe-mac-pro/#findComment-201006 Share on other sites More sharing options...
