Apple Gives Mac Pros an 8-Core Makeover

So the rumors were true. Apple has given their mighty Mac Pro a power jolt this morning, allowing power-hungry fanboys the option of configuring a system with two quad-core 3.0GHz Intel Xeons. So what's all this gonna cost you? A basic 8-core system will run you $3,997. Ouch. So now that we have that rumor taken care of, how's about we start working on some of the others, huh Apple? – Louis Ramirez

It's too bad the UK Store is down now—fixing that error, no doubt—or else you'd be able to see it for yourself. Now all you get is a screenshot. – Jason Chen
