Core blimey!
Is it the “Two More CORES” or the “i7 is coming to the Mac Pro” we are supposed to be getting excited about?
How about … “can I pull the Xeon in my new Mac Pro and insert the new chip?” question. Huh? Is it plug-compatible? A couple more cores will mean a couple more GB of RAM to keep them all happy … a sacrifice I’m willing to make.
Will it play WOW!!!
Oooh… 6 cores… sexi
Damn…I was hoping for a bakers dozen.
Now if Apple would only actually ship a system that natively supports a 2×16 graphics configuration!
I’m wondering the same thing. It is “pin” compatible with the current Nahelem MacPros. Both use the LGA 1366 socket. Who knows how the firmware and chipset would deal with it though. Being a Nahelem owner, I hope I can swap. I’m going to let someone else do it first though.
Sounds snappy!
Overkill?
The real question, when will they put it in the iPhone?
