Apple is now offering 8-core Mac Pro power computers, bringing very high performance computing to the Macintosh world.
“Opt for the 8-core Mac Pro and you get the power of two Quad-Core Intel Xeon /Clovertown’ processors running at 3.0GHz,†says Apple’s web site.
“Or choose a quad-core Mac Pro featuring two Dual-Core Intel Xeon “Woodcrest†processors and decide how fast they fly: 2.0GHz, 2.66GHz, or 3.0GHz.â€Â
Very very cool, should bring a tremendous performance boost to the platform (providing your applications are optimized for multi core processors. I’ll have two please… Would make my iTunes experience much faster..

Other than running 6 Windows XP desktops in VMware’s Fusion I’ve never been able to get the four cores in MacPro to go about 80%. So really don’t think I could justify another four cores
Where can I buy these genetically modified Apples, the apples I buy only have a single core, but a few more pips – but does keep the doctor away
