'Rather than using multiple heat sinks and fans to cool the processor and graphics cards, we built everything around a single piece of extruded aluminum designed to maximize airflow as well as thermal capacity,' Apple said. Look and feel aside, one of the unique aspects to the 2013 Mac Pro is its unified thermal core and cooling system. The thermal core will come in handy when one processor isn’t working as hard as the others are, because the extra thermal capacity will distribute equally among all of them.
