Company Apple new to us Mac Pro has shown and introduced it, but we won't see it until later this year. However, some developers are already slowly but surely gaining access to this machine, especially people from the Pixar studio, which should have new Mac Pro available early. The first benchmark score of the new machine has even appeared on the server of the well-known measurement system Geekbench. It is questionable whether the results are authentic, but it seems that they are. The tested model is specifically Mac Pro with an Intel Xeon E5-2697 processor with a frequency of 2,7 GHz and twelve cores with 64 GB of RAM running OS X Mavericks.
As you probably know, Mac OS X Mavericks is currently only available in beta version, and even the first one available to developers. However, the operating system itself can affect the results of GeekBench tests maxat least 75 points both upwards and of course also in the opposite direction. GeekBench tests measure the so-called raw performance, i.e. the performance that a computer is able to achieve regardless of what specific calculations it is currently performing. For regular computers, this performance is nice for comparison, but in the real world it does not tell us much and as you know, for example MacBook Air 11″ with Flash memory feels faster than MacBook Pro with a hard drive, which of course has higher Geekbench results.
New Mac Pro however, still miniWe won't see it for almost a quarter of a year, so it's likely that Apple they are still tuning the hardware and software so that the new machine achieves the highest possible performance. Currently, as can be seen from the reactions of foreign discussants on servers such as MacRumors, 9to5mac or Cultofmac, the performance is not satisfactory for professional users who have been waiting for a new machine for essentially four years.
For comparison, we ran Geekbench tests on our machine, which is quite common. MacBook Pro 2011 with 16GB RAM and a HyperX 240GB SSD.

I think the results are good. The new MacPro is underclocked and with the same processor clock it runs out of more than 27000 points. At 3.4GHz, it would already have more than 30000 points.
dfx: You probably meant to write that more than 23000 points. The 2,7 is the frequency in GHz. :)
Amnesy: No, he didn't want to. I wrote it well.
At 2.7GHz it has 23901 points. At 3.07GHz like my predecessor Mac Pro would have more than 27000 points. And at 3.4GHz it would have more than 30000 points. Let's just get rid of it.
Strange :-) I have almost the same machine :-) Macbook Pro 2012 and I have 10500 :-) I have the same disk and slower ram :-)
treysand: 10500 points corresponds to a 4-core processor. In this test they used 12-core xeon and the result depends primarily on the processor. I have a 13″ MBP from 2009 and I have about 3600 points :-)
dfx – I meant like Roman's laptop :-) no Mac PRO :-D
DFX - otherwise, with geekbench, it mostly depends on the processor and then the frames and the SSD disk :-) when I had it without the SSD disk, I had something around 9550 :-) after the SSD over 10500 :-) I can't say about the frames because I didn't increase the mhz but the size :-)
