Quad Processor Intel Mac?
MacBidouille posts some screenshots which claim to demonstrate an unreleased Quad Processor Intel-based PowerMac with Hyperthreading support.
Apple announced the transition to Intel-based processors in June of this year. Apple has offered Intel PowerMacs to developers for testing. These Developer machines house a single 3.6GHz Pentium 4.
Without giving much details, those captures shows MacOSX x86 running on a 4 physical CPU-based MacIntel with Hyperthreading enable. One can clearly see 4 physical processors recognized while 8 logical processors are recorded by the CPU monitor. So MacOSX can really manage without problem any MacIntel based on either physical or logical processors.

Not sure if they are fake or not, but I wouldn't be surprised if OS X could handle 4 Intel cpu's or more. It would be great to have such a machine!

Who knows, but some Apple utils DID gain the ability to show info on 4 CPUs this year, that's been discovered long ago. So they could be real shots. (And with dual dual-core G5s, we may see 4 CPUs soon!)
And with Hyper-Threading, an Intel Mac could appear to have twice that, as I understand it.

What's that weird watermark thing on the images?
Not sure if those are fake or not.

Why is there a ghost of some guy/robot thing behind the 3rd and 4th processor panel and the bottom right of the screen? Fake?

Just a watermark. Check the site's masthead... ;)

That's pretty sweet. But it's not just Intel that's doing it. AMD is going for Quad-Core Processors by 2007, and also the PowerPC is heading the same way.
It didn't require Apple to move to Intel to bring us that...

The screen shot appears to be of a system running OSX 10.4.1. Is that possible do the developer systems use the standard Tiger?
