As most of you know the dual-core processors are the standard to see in most new computers nowadays.Apparently some people think that two processors in one computer are very last year. Apple is one of them.
Released this week is the eight core (yeah count 'em, 8 freakin' cores) Mac Pro workstation.
The Mac Pro is mostly directed to people and companies that do high-end media editing, including audio and video.
Whether you actually need eight cores for yourself is another question. Most programs like Microsoft Word, Mozilla Firefox and others are set up for multi-core processing so you don't get the advantages of the eight cores. Doesn't make me want one any less.
You can pick up one of these power-houses (literally, as they'll need one serious power supply) with eight cores for $4596 (CAD). If you want the coolness but with less leet specs then the base Mac Pro comes at a premium of $2440 (CAD).
Mmmmm, delicious.
