After letting its top-end professional line of computers and displays languish without significant upgrades for nearly two years, Apple today announced revised Mac Pro workstations and an accompanying 27″ LED Cinema Display. The new Mac Pros can be fitted with up to 12 Xeon processing cores in a dual-CPU configuration, up to 4 512GB SSD drives, and almost-top-end ATI Radeon GPUs. All that graphics power can be pushed to the new 27″ LED Cinema Display with its 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution.

The new Mac Pros still retain the same case as the previous models—though the design dates back to the Power Mac G5, Apple seems loathe to update the look—but are available with Intel Xeons inside, including the latest 32nm 6-core Westmere-EP variants.
