The entry level Mac Pro model now includes a 6-core Intel Xeon E5 processor, up from the previous quad-core. Also upgraded is the dual graphics included standard with an increase to an AMD FirePro D500. These include 3GB of GDDR5 VRAM each.
The second Mac Pro model sees its processor jump from a 6-core to an 8-core. The graphics too have been updated to a Dual AMD FirePro D700 with 6GB GDDR5 VRAM each.
