[Kaayá Pezzuti]

Hi Guys,
I'd like to know which difference between Mac pro 5,1 2010 and Mac Pro 5,1 2012
I Will make a project with

Mac 5,1 12 Core

But if i buy the mac pro 2010 i will pay less than 2012.

Someone know if have so much diference? if have which would be?

My project is:
Buy a Mac pro 5,1
Upgrade CPU to 12 Core X5690
128GB or 96GB DDR3 1200mhz
Radeon VII
SSD


And use this mac more 5 years,

What you guys think? its possible?

I dont wanna pay a lot in a mac old, with upgrades, i want buy and make myself the upgrades.

No Differences - except the OEM CPUs. What works in a 2010 will work in a 2012 5,1 cMP.

The difference is the base specs and some CPU offered at sale. They are essentially identical. As it is suped those differences don't matter.

and you guys know if i need buy the 12 core for upgrade to X5690? because i see some CPU are:
XEON X56** (This is Possible Because is X56**)
or
XEON E56** (And that?)

Get one which is already dual CPU. As the necessary board is pricey.

Just Another think,

Do you think is good idea to upgrade this mac at the maximum? i see the bench CPU he works at the 25k more or less

^^^^Hope this helps you - My Post from another thread years ago:

Intel's Part Number Descriptions Explained here:

Intel has changed what the leading Alpha means. The change happened when going from the 35XX (55XX) to the 36XX (56XX) series.

In the older series it meant:

E = Enterprise and CPUs with a TDP of 80 Watts
X = Accelerated and CPUs with a TDP of 95 Watts
W = Workstation and CPUs with a TDP of 130 Watts

and in every case the leading numeric after the alpha meant:

3 = for single CPU use only (1 x I/O Bus)
5 = for dual CPU use, but will work in single CPU applications (2 x I/O Bus)

the the later series, the above nomenclature rules stayed constant EXCEPT - The "X" prefix means accelerated (95 or 130 watt TDP) and is only used on CPUs with a 2 x I/O bus. The "W" prefix is now used only in the single CPU series (1 X I/O Bus).

In any case in both series, the meaning of leading numeric after the alpha has remained the same. A "3" for CPUs with a 1 x I/O bus and a "5" for CPUs with a 2 X I/O Bus.

I hope this makes sense to you. It took me awhile to figure it out.
