Out of absolutely nowhere, Apple has decided to randomly unleash the 8-core Mac Pro unto the world. As you’d probably expect though, power doesn’t come cheap. A base Mac Pro with only the CPU upgraded so it’s 8-core will cost you $4000 alone. Should you dare to upgrade the RAM and hard disks, you’re looking at a $7500 machine. Aside from the new CPU upgrade available, everything else is still the same.
If anyone gets one of these, drop us a comment. I’m curious as to how fast these things can fly.
How can you say “out of absolutely nowhere”? MacBreak Weekly was talking about the “octo” months ago!
