The 3.33Ghz CPU itself is a very expensive part, and so the great bulk of the upgrade cost is the dual CPUs themselves.

If you’re buying a fast system to run 24X7 at max CPU load with maxed-out heat-belching 15K rpm drives and the PCIe slots full of power hungry cards-who knows. I’m completely comfortable in my usage of this upgraded system, and I beat on it harder than most users. The Mac Pro fan system can easily deal with this even under full load I found that the fan noise increased only a little. The single-CPU 2010 Mac Pros all use 130 watt parts, so there is no real difference with a dual CPU system other than total power draw each CPU has its own heat sink on the dual core systems, each generating the same heat as the single-CPU systems. So under max load, the faster CPUs will draw 2X35 = 70 watts more power. The 3.33GHz W5680 is a 130 watt CPU, whereas Apple’s 2.93GHz 12-core uses 95 watts. Fromīetter to upgrade the 2.8GHz model for lower cost Not all possibilities shown, see the OWC CPU upgrade page. 2010/2012 upgradesĪvailability for fastest speeds as of mid February, 2011. The best 2010 Mac Pro system to upgrade is the 2.4GHz 8-core system, because it’s the least expensive. You won’t believe how slick this upgrade is- send OWC your existing CPU tray, wait a few days for the upgraded tray, then pop it in and boot up! I’m now happily running my 8-core 2.4GHz Mac Pro with a brain transplant: the 12-core 3.33Ghz model-see my review. With OWC’s CPU upgrade program, an upgrade to a faster CPU or more CPU cores is made easy.Īs of late 2014, OWC can upgrade the CPU in the 2009 or 2010 or 2012 Mac Pro models, and can also upgrade the CPU in a 2013 Mac Pro.Īpple won’t sell you a 3.33Ghz 12-core Mac Pro, but you can still have one! Or 3.46 GHz.
