The Mac Pro "Twelve Core" 2.66 (Mid­
2010/Westmere) is powered by dual
2.66 GHz Six Core 32­nm Xeon X5650
(Westmere) processors with a
dedicated 256k of level 2 cache for
each core and 12 MB of "fully shared" level 3 cache per processor. It also could be
equipped with other dual Six Core processors, but these are documented as their own
models for convenience.
By default, this model is configured with 6 GB of 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC SDRAM, a 1 TB
(7200 RPM, 32 MB cache) 3Gb/s Serial ATA hard drive, an 18X dual­layer "SuperDrive"
and an ATI Radeon HD 5770 graphics card with 1 GB of GDDR5 memory.
Expansion includes two external 5.25" "optical" bays (one free by default), four internal
3.5" "cable­free, direct attach" hard drive bays (three free by default), and four PCIe 2.0
slots (one free PCIe 2.0 x16 slot and two free PCIe 2.0 x4 slots with the default single
graphics card installed).
Ports include five USB 2.0 ports, four Firewire "800" ports, dual Gigabit Ethernet, two
Mini DisplayPorts and a dual­link DVI port, among others. AirPort Extreme
(802.11a/b/g/n) and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR is standard.
Although the "Mid­2010" models look essentially the same externally as the "Early
2009" models, all "Mid­2010" models are equipped with faster graphics and there are
significant technical differences for higher­end "Westmere" models as well with faster
processors and as many as twelve cores (two six core processors) via custom
configuration.

The 64­bit 32­nm Xeon X5650 (Westmere) processor has six
independent processor "cores" each with a dedicated 256k level 2
cache, 12 MB of "fully shared" level 3 cache, an integrated memory
controller, and "a 128­bit SSE4 SIMD engine". It also supports
"Hyper­Threading" ­­ which "allows two threads to run
simultaneously on each core" (so Mac OS X recognizes twenty four
total cores on this model, twelve real and twelve virtual) ­­ and
"Turbo Boost" ­­ which "automatically boosts the processor speed
based on workload" (so if an application is only using one of the four
cores it will automatically increase the speed of the core in use and
turn off the unused cores), in this case up to 3.06 GHz.
