So, new Mac Pros a week before MacWorld 2009 (just like last year)?![]()
I certainly hope so. I was in an Apple Store yesterday admiring the current model, but I am waiting for the Core i7. As soon as Apple ships, I'll be in line.

Just remember Apple makes most of its money off the Imac's and the macbooks, they will get the update first, with the mac pro after, and the mini far far behind
You sort of missed the point of my post; I don't remember any announcements, which means that they have been updated silently a lot.
I have no recollection of ANY of the displays debuting at MacWorld. I don't claim to have any knowledge of them though. When I bought my G4 and the studio display to go with it, I don't remember an announcement for the display along with the tower. Someone correct me and bring me joy.
Apple can just "silently" update the Cinema Displays along with the Mac Pro before MacWorld 2009.
I really doubt that you're going to notice a huge performance boost going from the 2x2.66.
In my opinion, you should either wait for Nehalem or upgrade your current system. Sink some money into the Velociraptor or a new GPU. Whatever you're doing with your computer, you're unlikely to be CPU-constrained.
they will get the update first, with the mac pro after
Gonna give you a massive NO on that. If that were the case, Apple would not be "able" to update their notebooks until one year from now.
The Mac Pro gets everything. EVERYTHING. First. Then the MacBook Pro, then the iMac, then the MacBook, and if the tech has been around for two years, the Mini.
ZX81 --> Mac Pro ?
Is there a difference?. That is why I asked... thanks.
well I need one tonight.. so i'm about to go to apple store here.. if anything changes I guess I'll eat the restocking fee and get the new one since the event is only 7 days away :/
The chips won't be out until October, just like last year. It's not coming out before Christmas.
In theory the 8Core Mac Pro should be able to at least be twice as fast as the ZX81 but because many applications are not yet optimized for multiple cores - I would say it will run just about the same speed.
Absolutely not. The speed increase is not enough, so wait for Nehalem or even 6-core Westmere. In fact, you could even wait for Sandy Bridge, that's even better.I just sold my ZX81, and upgrading to 2.8Ghz 8-core MP. I am not sure if I made the right decision; is this a worthwhile speed increase, for my outlay?
Do they stay silent over the months of do they start to get noisier ?
Are you crazy? "twice as fast"... I think it's probably a LITTLE faster than two times...
ROFL!!
