Apple Releases 8-core Mac Pro [Updated]
Apple has released the long-anticipated 8-core Mac Pro. The update keeps current configurations but adds a top of the line 8-core 3 GHz model for $1498 additional beyond the base 2.66 Quad-core model.
Interestingly, at the current time the model is only available in the US and Canada, although this may simply reflect a lag time in Apple updating localized versions of Apple's website.
The new model is available for shipping in 3-5 business days for basic configurations from the US Apple Store.
Update: The 8-core configuration has been added to the international stores. Pricing can be found on the online Apple Stores, e.g. United Kingdom, Germany, France, Australia, Japan.

A shame they did not upgrade the graphic card options as well.
Well, at least the complaining will end now that they finally ship Quad-core processors in the Mac Pro line up.
And it's only a $1498 upgrade for the standard configuration to boot.

Awesome! And I thought they were going to cap off at 2.66 for the 8 core pros.
p.s. Take the apostrophe out of your title. The Mac Pros are not posessing anything.

Pricing seems to have stayed the same, just with the uber expensive 8-core option.

They posses the power of 8-core processing!

P.S. don't you mean "possessing" ? :D

Where are the blu-ray drives? This update doesn't make sense. I'd like to think that they were waiting for NAB but got sick of all the complaints/dip in sales, so they rushed out the octo as a bto option but this doesn't make sense. There were other features ppl were expecting too, like new graphics cards. I doubt they will drop a new form factor with new features in a fortnight now. They were obviously just waiting to get clovertown to 3 Ghz so that their product line was differentiated enough.

kwood, i'm pretty sure the displays were at $699. i only remember this b/c i bought one when they first came out (gulp...1699 cdn). DOH!
i'm actually pretty disappointed by the lack of price cut on current models. I know they don't HAVE to, but i was kind of hoping the prices would drop a bit.
MAYBE, without a significant announcement and press release, this means that newly designed mac pros will be released in June as the rumour is abound.
cheers,
