Apple was replacing its Power Mac computer with a speedier machine based on new Intel dual-core chips, the company announced on Monday.

New Mac Pro computers began shipping on Monday with a price tag of 2,499 dollars, according to Apple marketing vice president Phil Schiller.

Mac Pros are built with two Intel Xeon chips and double the performance of the Power Mac machines they were replacing, Schiller said.
