2009 Mac Pro

Tallest Skil wasn't the only one caught by Intel's release date change. 😱 Several forum members, including myself, were looking at MacWorld '09 based on the original release date stated for November '08.

Once they changed that to Q1 '09, any projection had to change accordingly.

no, I made an account just to say that. And your above post doesn't matter because he still proved you wrong in your post that i've linked.

The Nehalem Mac Pros will use Gainestown, not Beckton. Gainestown comes out in late Q4, so we should see new Mac Pros right before MacWorld.

Hey! I can quote myself, too! And, as I already said, those posts (and this one) were made before Intel pushed the release schedule back. It made sense back then.

Anyone following my conspiracy theory would be wise to take after this man!

(The 518 days conspiracy. The last update took 518 days, and WWDC 2009 is exactly 518 days from the release of the Penryn Mac Pro, so...) 😎

In this circumstance, those are Men In Black shades.

Simple explanation. Note the dates. Those posts were before Intel pushed back the Xeon production date. This is an article from November showing the release date as being pushed back to Q1 2009.



Thanks for creating an account just for that. Or, rather, thanks for creating a second account to spam up this thread.

Awe - come on Skil - you have to admit it was pretty damn funny....

I've botched my fair share of predictions in these forums (see my Mid-tower prediction a year ago) - if we were all correct all the time it wouldn't be much fun.
