Apple's updated the Mac Pro with Intel's new 45nm quad-core Xeon CPUs at up to 3.2GHz. The new 8-core config is $2,800, and Apple is calling these machines Apple's fastest desktops ever. Standard options:

* 2GB of 800MHz DDR2 RAM
* ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT (256MB)
* 320GB drive, 16x DVDRW
* Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, (2) PCI Express 2.0, (2) PCI Express slots

No Blu-ray, as rumored, but it can be configured with plenty of drives (as usual), RAID, NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT or NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 graphics cards, and 802.11n.

Engadget is updating every second it seems.

I'm closing this in favour of the MR news thread just posted, best to keep conversation in one place and since there isn't much here already no one loses out :)
