Apple adds 8-core option to Mac Pro

Apple on Wednesday added a new eight-core option to the Mac Pro. Buyers of
the new professional workstation can now choose two of Intel's 3GHz
quad-core Xeons, nicknamed "Clovertown," alongside the 2GHz, 2.66GHz, and
3GHz dual-core "Woodcrest" processors currently offered by Apple in its
systems. Other features of the desktop are unchanged and include a base 1GB
of memory expandable to 16GB, 250GB of storage (up to 3TB), and a choice of
video cards ranging from a 256MB GeForce 7300 GT to the 512MB Quadro FX 4500
for professional 3D modeling and stereo imaging.

Customizing the Mac Pro with the 3GHz eight-core option adds $1,498 to the
base $2,499 price and ships within three to five days from the online Apple
Store.
