Default New "Gulftown" Mac Pro Processors Leaked

Quote:
The slide confirms that the new processor will be based on a 32nm process with 6 cores and 12 threads. This means a dual configured Mac Pro will have 12 physical cores and 24 logical cores. Also revealed is that the processor will reach a frequency of 3.33GHz. This new 6-core processor should arrive by March 2010, giving a possible timeframe for the next Mac Pro refresh.

Just to clarify, this processor may be used in a Mac Pro but it is not exclusively for that.

Looks like quite the package. I would expect to be pretty steep pricing.

Oh hey, good call. I created this thread in a hurry this morning, and didn't realize the exclusivity implication in the title.

Mac's best decision was to stop with their PowerPC processors and just go intel spec.
