Everybody knows that Apple’s Mac business has expanded quite a bit over the past year or so, but creative professionals are still the base of that support and these are two products were designed for them, according to David Moody, vice president of Mac product marketing. Very few businesses have standardized on Mac OS X Server in the server room, and therefore the market for the Xserve is somewhat limited.

Still, smaller shops that want to have a Mac OS X environment front to back, as well as educational customers, are key Xserve customers. The new Mac will possess a 1600MHz front-side bus and up to 32GB of 800MHz memory. It comes with an ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT graphics card with 256MB of video memory.

The standard 8-core Mac Pro will cost $2,799.
