Apple usually reserves their new products for the MacWorld Exposition coming up next week, but this year they let two products out a week early releasing them instead during the famed CES convention in Las Vegas.
The new Xserve server and a new Mac Pro computer were both announced yesterday with shipping of the products beginning today, Tuesday.
Apple says the new 1U rachmount Xserve is twice the speed of the previous Xserve. It features a high-bandwidth hardware, dual independent 1600 MHz front side buses and expanded memory up to 32GB of 800MHz memory. This increases the memory over the Xserve’s predecessor by 64 percent. The bandwidth is four times the old and also supports the latest high-bandwidth expansion cards. Included as well is built-in accelerated graphics compilable with a 23-inch Apple Cinema Display. Pricing for the new Xserve begins at $2,999.
