8-Core Mac Pro Announced

The 8-core Mac Pro has two Quad-Core Intel Xeon “Clovertown� processors running at 3.0GHz and is offered as an option alongside the quad-core Mac Pros featuring two Dual-Core Intel Xeon “Woodcrest� processors at 2.0GHz, 2.66GHz, or 3.0GHz. At 3.0GHz, Apple say that the quad-core Mac Pro runs up to 2x faster than the Power Mac G5 Quad.1

The Mac Pro accommodates up to four drives and 3TB of storage, offers eight DIMM slots to fill with up to 16GB of RAM, and provides up to two SuperDrives. It also gives you four PCI Express slots and lots of I/O options for ultimate flexibility.

The option of having two 3.0GHz quad-core processors adds $1498 to the cost of Apple’s suggested $2,499 Mac Pro configuration of two 2.66GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon “Woodcrest� processors.
