I'm sure they've done something similar before.....
iPod, iMac, ... i3, i5, i7, i9. It all makes sense now. Intel and Apple are just having one giant unholy love-in.
Exactly. Makes no odds really, it'll be available elsewhere soon enough.
10GB Ethernet......didn't even realise it was a spec! Just checked out the prices of 10GB switches and almost had a heart attack...

What doesn't make sense? Apple charge a eye-bleeding fortune for such machines and so it makes sense to punt it out to them first. Lest we forget the reason why stacks of us aren't on i7 - the intially insanely priced motherboards, RAM and processor.

Exactily. Apple have had first refusal on all of intel's fastest CPU's every time they have launched since they went x86

Meh, they need the extra power to push that god awful OS/Raises flame shield.
I don't think it really matters anyway tbh, we know its coming and how many of us really need 12 threads ? Note the word need & not want
Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
Did someone say 12 threads ?
Society's to blame,
Or possibly Atari.
Article typo: There won't be 24 cores, there will be 24 THREADS and 12 cores.

It's mostly overkill outside the datacentre, but I guess Mac Pros do get action in clusters and potentially using NAS storage etc when in serious design houses... sort of things that might saturate a 1Gb link... possibly... and hey, you just got ripped off on the Mac, why not spend a few grand on your switch too...
