We had to wait for some more days after the quad-core Adobe CS3 promotion. But now, the new MacPros are here - and the flagship model is equipped with two - long awaited - quad-core Intel Xeon processors. It looks like Apple is starting to focus on the number of cores and not the number of processors anymore. When the number of cores is increasing only communicating the total number of cores is less confusing for everybody. Sure, there are several technological differences between one quad-core and two dual-core processors - and there is also quite a difference in performance. But Apple already decided to change their communication
Now, we can be anxious to the benchmarks of the new quad-core Macs. And we probably don’t have to wait too long: The U.K. Apple Store says - ready to ship in 2 days. Quite interesting, that you can get a Mac OS X Server 10-client licence without additional costs. In the US it you still have to pay 499$. A bug or a feature?
