Amaya Toman Computers from Apple's workshop were equipped with PowerPC processors for quite a long time in the past, over time the company switched to processors from Intel. The spectacular culmination of this transition years ago was the super-powerful Mac Pro – a top-of-the-line desktop computer equipped with an Intel chip.

It was August 2006, when Apple officially introduced its quad-core, 64-bit Mac Pro, which was intended for demanding professionals. The latest computing machine from the workshop of the Cupertino company was supposed to be able to cope with performance-demanding graphic tasks, professional audio and video editing and other similar tasks. The new Mac Pro was supposed to serve as the successor to the Power Mac G5, and like the Power Mac G5, it featured, among other things, a "grater" design.

"Apple successfully completed the transition to using Intel processors in just seven months, 210 days to be exact," said Steve Jobs at the time in the related official press release. Apple promised up to twice as much performance compared to the aforementioned Power Mac G5 with its new product at the time, and the new Mac Pro could also boast more generous storage. There was also an expansion of the number of ports - the Mac Pro was equipped with five USB 2.0 ports along with four FireWire ports. It was equipped with two dual-core Intel Xeon 5130 processors with a clock speed of 2 GHz, 1 GB of operating memory, 250 GB HDD and, among other things, GeForce 7300 GT graphics. The company advised users to ideally combine the new Mac Pro with a 30” Cinema HD display for the best possible user experience.

As it happens not only in the world of technology, not everything was perfect. The new Mac Pro came with the Mac OS X Tiger operating system, which was great in many ways, but some professional programs such as the Adobe Creative Suite suffered from slow performance. Overall, however, the new Mac Pro met with a largely positive response at the time of its arrival, both from users and from journalists and experts. Apple discontinued the production and sale of this Mac Pro in early 2008, when the second generation, equipped with Intel Xeon Harpertown processors, began.
