\"Screen<\/a>During our teardown of the late 2013 Mac Pro<\/a> last week, we discovered that the new model had a removable CPU that allows for user upgrades.<\/p>\n

We got our hands on an Intel E5-2667 V2 8-core 3.30GHz with 25MB Cache processor, installed it in the new Mac Pro and have done some benchmarking to get an early look at the performance vs. the stock Apple \/ Intel E5-1650 V2 6-core 3.50GHz with 12MB Cache model. The testing was done with 64GB of OWC memory<\/a> installed.<\/p>\n
