And, as suspected, the new Apple Mac Pro desktop premiered and was released this week at the WWDC (World Wide Development Conference). Oh, it’s a beauty (check it out here). We all knew that she’d have to be a quad-core, with speeds at least more than that of a G5; and Apple came through. The surprise, however, is that they managed to stick to a 64-bit processor, as well as going with speeds of up to 3.0GHz and 16GB of RAM. Yowza! This probably means that Intel will succeed where IBM failed, and we can expect to see 64-bit model laptops sometime in the (hopefully near, but not too near – since I just bought a MacBook Pro) future.
I await clock speeds ;)
PS – Check out previews of Leopard (more African names!), the next Mac OS (due for release American Spring ’07) here.
