Apple on Wednesday announced an update to its Mac Pro workstation PC that features two 3.0GHz quad-core Intel Xeon processors.
Apple has revealed Australian pricing details for the new hardware line-up it announced overnight in the US, with the vendor's new low-end MacBook laptop starting at AU$1299.
If you listen to Intel, the last hold-outs against the x86 instruction set are about to fall with super-powered Nehalem swarms mopping up the high end of massed Power PC supercomputers, and sneaky little Atoms nibbling away at the ARM embedded market.
Just before Macworld, Apple has unveiled a Mac Pro with eight processor cores and a new system architecture. Apple said its two 45-nanometer Intel Quad-Core Xeon processors running at up to 3.2GHz will double the power of its predecessor.
Blade servers were once the saviours of the datacentre. Expandability was king. But do blade servers still make sense today? We find out if they're still worth it.
Apple's new eight-core Mac Pro demonstrates marked improvements over the older model in high-intensity digital media and multitasking scenarios.
Intel's new Nehalem architecture features an integrated memory controller and runs two threads per CPU core. Our extensive benchmark tests reveal how well the new quad-core processors perform in practice.
Apple announced the Apple Mac Pro, the Intel Xeon-based replacement for the Power Mac G5 at it's recent Worldwide Developers Conference.
If you thought dual cores were over the top, get ready. Intel presents the Core 2 Extreme QX6700, a single CPU with four distinct processing cores. The first quad-core CPU will remain an enthusiast part for a while, but as a glimpse of the future, it's clear that clock speed is out and core counts are in.
Apple's newest Mac Mini is set to be a hit, being both small and powerful. We suspect that if Apple had managed to squeeze Blu-ray support in there, it would take a large chunk of the home theatre PC market.
