Apple Announces Penryn Mac Pros and Xservers

Linked by Adam S on Tue 8th Jan 2008 19:20 UTC

Apple today announced upgrades to the Mac Pro and the Xserve, which now feature Intel Penryn processors. Quad-core processors that go up to 3.2 Ghz, powerful video cards, and superfast front-side bus and memory make these especially delicious, however, there are still no Blu-ray drives available. Macrumors has more.

It doesn't run OS X, ergo it doesn't run FCP and other Apple Pro applications. You may diss that requirement, but some people do want (need) to run OS X.

I agree completely. If you want to run MacOS you have to go with a Mac which means you won't be able to select hardwire options that best fit your price/performance requirements and you may have to pay a premium for a part which is available for far less.
