Perhaps you're the kind of Mac user who regarded the eight-core Mac Pro and thought "Who would ever need more than eight cores?" In that case, you can skip ahead to the next post, because this morning Apple announced a revised Mac Pro lineup with BTO options for dual 6-core Xeon processors. Yes indeed, 12 cores of pure oomph -- shipping next month.
The tale of the tape: The new quad-core Mac Pro comes in at US$2499 with
one 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon W3530 processor with 8MB of fully-shared L3 cache;
3GB of 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC SDRAM memory, expandable up to 16GB
ATI Radeon HD 57
