Macintouch posted their own impressions of the Mac Pro with their own benchmarks.
Meanwhile, ThinkSecret reports that thew new Mac Pro features a new version of the Airport wireless card:
Those products are still referred to as being equipped with "AirPort Extreme" cards, although they differ from Apple's AirPort Extreme card for PowerPC systems. Like the Atheros cards, however, the Broadcom card in the Mac Pro connects to two antennas, suggesting Apple may be planning to support the 802.11a protocol in the near future.
