MacDailyNews reader Tom F. provides the image from the online Apple UK store that clearly states “Mac Pro. Now quad-core or 8-core processing power.”

It now appears that the new Xeons might be arriving sooner rather than later, based on some descriptions on the U.K. Apple site.”
“Unless Apple has somehow managed to pack 4 of the current Xeon processors into that shiny metal tower, this seems like a pretty good indication that Apple is getting ready to take us to Clovertown,” Berka writes.
