Apple Ships 8-Core MacPro

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the way-more-cores-than-the-earth dept.

ivan1024 writes "The Apple website is announcing the availability of an 8-core Mac Pro. The machine will ship with two 3.0 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5300 processors. Older models with the Dual-Core chips remain available. Base model with two 3.0 GHz Quad-Core Xeon processors start at $3997, (albeit with unacceptably minimal RAM or HD space; fully spec'd with dual 30" monitors and tons o' RAM/HD still over $10K... bummer)"

    Mods, do not punish people for your difference of opinion. Mod down sparingly. Read the guidlines before modding, every time you get mod points.
