Yesterday Apple released its new Mac Pro trailer ahead of its fall launch. The upcoming desktop was first announced back in June at Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) though supposedly the clip debuted in theaters during showings of the disappointing Steve Jobs biopic aptly named Jobs. Though the trailer doesn’t disclose anything in terms of an actual release date, specs, or price, what we know of the Mac Pro points directly to a technical force to be reckoned with.
During the WWDC keynote, CEO Tim Cook took the stage to announce that the next-generation Mac Pro would feature the likes of an intel chipset with fastest ECC memory, while the new Thunderbolt 2 will be up to 2x faster than the current-gen’s; 20 Gbps will flow throughout and help to power dual workstation GPUs and 4096 stream processors.

And though none of this is reiterated in the trailer, the video does show that Apple is planning to build upon the sleek design cues and kinetically-pleasing hardware the Cupertino-based company is known for.
The clip does, however, reveal the Mac Pro’s imminent release date which could be speculated to be the same as the iPhone 5S’s on September 10. Though Apple has yet to announce a press event for its upcoming mobile products, it isn’t out of line to consider Tim Cook would unveil his desktops as well,
The Mac Pro will be running on the upcoming operating system OS X 10.9 Mavericksof which Apple recently released the sixth beta version to developers.
Among the major overhauls to be included upon the release of Mavericks is Apple Maps as the disappointing mapping app resulted in the ousting of iOS chief Scott Forstall last year. Plagued with poor navigation, warped 3D city and landscape, and a striking lack of Apple’s signature user-friendliness, the Maps feature is certainly neat the top of Apples to-do list.
Apple recently acquired the mapping company Embark thought to bolster the app’s attempted overhaul and add another feature thought to display subway transit system routes and schedules.
Also expect the GPS-based traveling guide to boast 3-D imaging of buildings and landmarks, which users can sync to their favorite locations and directions across all device.
Among the other improvements expected to come with the launch of Mavericks this fall include App Nap, Compressed Memory, Multitasking, Siri, and many more.
