8 Core Mac Pro & Xserve
Written on Jan 08, 2008 // Apple.
64-bit Quad-Core Intel Xeon “Harpertown” 5400 series processor for the win, in the new models of the Xserve and Mac Pro, so 2 processors makes for 8 cores in total. Niiice.
But, what’s rather weird is that these are announced a week before the Macworld San Francisco 2008, which makes everyone wonder what they’re going to announce there if this wasn’t big enough.

Dunno what could be (realistic) bigger news.

And if you do that, you’ll have 8 monitors, 24 USB ports, 8 keyboards and 8 mice….
Not to uh… bash the price of Apple hardware or anything… *cough*
*runs*

Jan 10 2008, 10:57I’m hoping they’ll announce the new iMacs on Macworld… With Penryn cores in them as well… Would definately make me want to buy one… even more… Now if I could just find a stash of cash somewhere…. ;)
And yet…. 2500 euros for a complete MacPro (8 cores, Decent graphics card, 2GB RAM) isn’t all that much…. maybe I should talk to the missus :)
