Full analysis of Apple Mac Pro 2013
In mid-2013, the long-awaited Mac Pro was announced at WWDC. The novelty had an absolutely unique design and original layout of elements. Apple made a very interesting page (by the way, on HTML5) for a new computer, but the insides were not described in such detail. The updated computer went on sale in December 2013 and quickly became scarce. Finally, he got yes iFixit, and today we look at the most interesting computer in 2013.
While many compare the Mac Pro with the trash can, it looks more like an aluminum soda can.
External interfaces:
')
No screws, just move the lock and lift the housing cover. Watch this interesting video on how to make a case for Mac Pro, fascinates.
Immediately you can see the entire filling of the new computer. Most places are occupied by two video cards.
Their symmetry is broken only by SSD, which is mounted on one of the video cards.
On both sides of the interfaces are symmetrically strap memory.
RAM is easy to replace.
4 GB DDR3L SDRAM (x3) Elpida EBJ04EG8BFWB-JS-F.
You can put 64GB of memory in total.
We unscrew one screw and remove the SSD drive.
SSD is very similar to those that put on the MacBook pro Retina and Air.
All information about the model is on the bottom of the case.
Remove the only fan, which is located on top of the cylindrical body.
If you look from above, you can see a large triangular radiator that simultaneously cools two video cards and a central processor. The design features of the new Mac Pro replicates the updated AirPort .
Disable PCI-E loops that combine video cards.
Turn off the mount radiator and remove the video card.
Consider the video card in more detail.
██ AMD FirePro D300 graphics processor
██ Elpida W2032BBBG 2 Gb (8 x 2 Gb = 16 Gb = 2 GB) GDDR5 VRAM
██ Intersil ISL 6336 6-Phase PWM Controller with Light Load Enhancement and Current Monitoring
On the other side
██ Fairchild Semiconductor DD30AJ
██ IR C F3575 CCIRP
Connector for SSD is only on one video card. I wonder if you can put two such video cards and double the SSD.
Mmm round motherboard? This board will integrate external interfaces, video cards, processor and power. Alone proprietary connectors around.
On the board there is a chipset and main controllers.
██ Intel BD82C602J Platform Controller Hub
██ R4F2113 NLG A02 AE03376
██ ICS 932SQL435AL 3817528F
██ Texas Instruments LM393 Dual Differential Comparator
██ MXIC 25L6406E 64M-BIT CMOS Serial Flash
██ 980 YFC LM4FS1BH
Remove the power supply grid, which is hidden between the boards with external interfaces and the processor with memory.
Separate the power supply from the processor. Moreover, the PSU supplies power to the processor without wires, over the terminals.
The processor logic board has an interesting solution. The processor itself is mounted on the radiator.
Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5-1620 v2 with 10 MB L3 cache, clocked at 3.7 GHz, Turbo Boost up to 3.9 GHz.
Components on the board
██ LGA 2011 (Socket R) CPU socket
██ SMSC 1428-7 3233E5A
██ IR C F3575 3X3YP
██ NXP PA9517A Level Translating I2C-Bus Repeater
██ Texas Instruments 58872D
The front side of the logic board:
██ Intersil ISL 6367 Hybrid Digital Dual PWM Controller
Separate the board with the interfaces from the power supply and consider the components.
██ Broadcom BCM57762 Gigabit Ethernet Controller
██ Intel DSL5520 Thunderbolt 2 Controller
██ Fresco Logic FL1100 4-port USB 3.0 Host Controller
██ Parade PS8401A HDMI Jitter Cleaning Repeater
██ Delta 8904C-F
██ PLX Technology PEX8723 PCI Express Switch
██ Intel DSL5520 Thunderbolt 2 Controller
██ Cirrus 4208-CRZ Audio Codec (seen in theMacBook Pro 15 "Retina Display)
██ Intersil 14AIRZ F335QV
██ Texas Instruments 58888D
██ Texas Instruments 58872D
450W power supply without active cooling.
By the way, video cards are powered through the terminals running along the radiator.
There are unidentified microcontrollers on the outer cover
██ Two M430 V380 H 39K CX88 G4
██ One M430 V380 H 39K CX7S G4
Fully updated Mac Pro 2013 gets 8 out of 10 points for maintainability, the more points, the easier the analysis and repair. The main advantages of a computer are simple assembly and modularity. Most components can be freely replaced or improved. Among the shortcomings - there is no possibility to increase the internal memory and the presence of proprietary connectors.
This Mac Pro has the following characteristics.
- Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5 with 10 MB L3 cache and Turbo Boost up to 3.9 GHz
- 12 GB (three 4 GB modules) of 1866 MHz DDR3 ECC memory
- Dual AMD FirePro D300 graphics processors with VR GB 2 GDDR5 each
- 256 GB PCIe-based flash storage
- 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0
- Price $ 2999
While many compare the Mac Pro with the trash can, it looks more like an aluminum soda can.
External interfaces:
- 3.5 mm headset
- Four USB 3.0 ports
- Six Thunderbolt 2
- Two Gigabit Ethernet ports
- HDMI 1.4
