8-core Mac Pro Leak at Apple UK? [Update]

Apple's UK Store leaks some information which suggests that 8-Core Mac Pros are coming soon.



When searching for "Mac" in the UK Apple Store, the listing for the Mac Pro is:

Mac Pro
Now quad-core or 8-core processing power.
Configure yours today.


Rumors that Apple would incorporate two of Intel's Quad-core chips into a Mac Pro to produce an 8-core Mac Pro have been ongoing since late last year.

Update: Apple appears to have found it and have removed the text from their site.

8-core? Jolly good!

Especially poignent since I've been waiting for this update for months. My guess is we'll see this tomorrow. Don't really want the 8-core, I just want the low or mid range MP with whatever upgrades may come, or to get the original 2.66 at a discounted price.

Confirmed, this is still up on the site. Good stuff, the regular Mac Pro just looks like a piece now.

8 core, great... but please tell me they're not still using the same Apple RAMBUS-esque memory that they used in the Rev A. Mac Pro.

They're actually using a new kind, carved from bricks of intricately cut diamond and kryptonite.

And you need to feed them 10 oz of caviar a day.
