So I get home a little bit ago (I'm really starting to hate this working thing) and check my email, then surf the web a bit, then come across this on Apple:




OH DEAR GOD!!!!!!!!

A 3.0GHz, 8-core Intel Xeon-based Mac Pro.

*weeps*


You know that Mac Pro you want to get?

I think this is it.

 

8.....EIGHT!?...EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIGGGGGG GGGHHHHHHHHHTTTTT!?...8!?

Holy crap

 

Now that's what I call a workstation!

Interesting article on if the upgrade from the 4-core Xeon is worth it...

... and crash, this is nearly the beginning of multi-core workstations. It will soon be common to have 8-32+ cores in a PC/Mac. Its the current trend in microprocessor architecture and all the cool engineers are doing it.
