its a typo.

that reminds me of a Simpsons episode

"Come to Homer's BBBQ. The extra 'B' is for 'BYOBB'"

"What's that extra 'B' for?"

"That's a typo."

its inevitable that 8 core Xeons will be released in the future.

would be nice to get those specs for that price though!

I refuse to buy a Mac Pro until it's got no fewer than 256 256-bit cores.
