Scheduled to make its debut later this year, the 2013 Mac Pro has emerged in the Geekbench Browser with a multi-core score of 24429 and a single-core score of 3349.

The new Geekbench result is the second one of its kind emerging in the last month (or so), and this time the benchmark names an 8-core Intel Xeon E5-1680 v2 chip running at 3.0 GHz.

The Mac was running a custom internal build of OS X Mavericks (13A3010) at the time of the testing.

CPU-wise, the score is pretty impressive, but the system also packs some insane graphics, according to Apple. In fact, the company’s Mac Pro marketing materials put graphics at the top of the feature set.

“When we began work on the next Mac Pro, we considered every element that defines a pro computer — graphics, storage, expansion, processing power, and memory.”
