Early benchmarks for the new Mac Pro have begun appearing in Geekbench, reports MacRumors.
The entry is appearing as "AAPLJ90,1" as opposed to the expected MacPro6,1. It scores 23901 overall. That's greater than the top scoring Mac Pro (Mid 2012) that scored 21980.
Supporting the authenticity of the entry is the listing of a custom build of OS X Mavericks, 13A2054, running on the machine. The listed motherboard ID is also one which was discovered in OS X Mavericks as corresponding to the new Mac Pro. The machine in question is running a single 12-core processor from the upcoming Ivy Bridge-E family, specifically the Xeon E5-2697 v2 running at 2.7 GHz. It is also equipped with 64 GB of RAM.
Genuine question here-
There appears to be fluctuations in processor speed with every refresh, no definite trend up or down.
However there is a trend to keep increasing the number of cores. Is the aim here to maintain the overall speed (with minor increases) but increase efficiency as the main goal?
