Thanks in advance!
Not necessarily depending on what your old Mac was:
Mac Pro 6,1 (trashcan) 3.5 GHz x 6 core = Geekbench Multicore 20654
Mac Pro 5,1 (cheesegrater) 3.06 Ghz x 12 core = Geekbench Multicore 26146

The older Mac Pro could have had more power than your current by 25% for multicore measurements -- the measurement that matters to Pro Tools.

(That's one reason a lot of pro audio people were annoyed with the new Mac Pro)
