Apple releases 8-Core Mac Pro

Apple has officially announced the first consumer ready 8-Core computer. Available with 8-core or quad-core Intel Xeon processor running at speeds from 2.0Ghz to 3.0Ghz. One of the most configurable systems out so far. Some options include...

Intel Xeon quad or 8 core running @ 2.0-3.0Ghz
up to 16GB of RAM
up to 3TB of hard drive space (thats 3,000GB!)
up to two dvd burners
4 PCI Express slots for graphics bonanza

configured as such along with 2 30 inch Apple Cinema displays racked up the total to about $15,000.

A reminder that such a beast of a machine is not needed for an average user or even hardcore graphics/video designers/editors UNTIL software that has been optimized for 4 or 8 cores is released.

Until then have fun dreaming about how much downloading you'd be doing with that much storage space and how fast your apps are going to run with all that RAM.
