MAC PRO MID 2012 TWELVE CORE PRO
On a stock quad-core 2012 Mac Pro, an import time in Final Cut Pro X went from 131 seconds to just 26 seconds.

In our Final Cut Pro X tests, the new Mac Pro significantly outperforms the stock 2012 Mac Pros, but the upgrades do help the older machines. Best result in bold.-Macworld Lab testing by James Galbraith and Albert Filice Despite the performance gains, the new Mac Pro was 45 percent faster overall than the upgraded quad-core 2012 Mac Pro. The Heaven and Valley benchmarks showed the Sapphire card installed in the upgraded Mac Pros able to display twice the number of frames per second as the Radeon HD5770 the systems shipped with. The upgraded 3.2GHz quad-core Mac Pro was able to copy a 6GB folder from one part of the drive to another in less than one-fifth of the time of the stock model. As you might expect, the processor-intensive tests didn’t show much difference after the upgrades, but folder copy and uncompressing tests were much, much faster with the addition of the Accelsior solid-state storage. After upgrading, the same system scored a 241, 41 percent higher than the stock system. The stock 2012 quad-core 3.2GHz Mac Pro with a 1TB hard drive, 6GB of RAM, and Radeon HD5770 graphics earned a Speedmark 9 score of 171.
