If you feel like the brand new high-end Xeon Nehalem powered Octo Core Mac Pro is not fast enough for your needs, then you might want to wait for early 2010. Indeed, Intel expects to release its first Xeon EX for Q1 2010. It will be an Octo Core Xeon, however they will be designed to be able to work with 2 or 4 CPUs on the same motherboard.Of course such hardware will be purely dedicated to Pro users requiring a huge processing power, but snow leopard should work perfectly fine on such computer. One will just need to install some Quadro FX graphic cards as well as dozen of GB of RAM, and you will get the best working station for 4K real-time video editing with Final Cut Studio.If such hardware is released, then Apple might be back as guest at the NAB
