Who knows, but some Apple utils DID gain the ability to show info on 4 CPUs this year, that's been discovered long ago. So they could be real shots. (And with dual dual-core G5s, we may see 4 CPUs soon!)
And with Hyper-Threading, an Intel Mac could appear to have twice that, as I understand it.

Why is there a ghost of some guy/robot thing behind the 3rd and 4th processor panel and the bottom right of the screen? Fake?

Quad Processor Intel Mac?

MacBidouille posts some screenshots which claim to demonstrate an unreleased Quad Processor Intel-based PowerMac with Hyperthreading support.
Apple announced the transition to Intel-based processors in June of this year. Apple has offered Intel PowerMacs to developers for testing. These Developer machines house a single 3.6GHz Pentium 4.

I am going to call a fake on this one. Either that or you can expect to pay out the ass for it.

i think it is fake , 4 cpus ?? what will it cost ,a right rip off i bet
Dual core yes , dual Cpu yes but not quad cpu from apple

People sure are dismissing an early MacIntel For a community that's supposed to "Think Different"
Not saying this is the "One More Thing".Just a thought..
I do believe that's a real system tho.

Screenshot might be fake, concept certainly isn't. Apple's going to Intel, and I'm sure they want to remain at the top of the multimedia computing game, this would definitely continue to solidfy that position.
Who's to say they can't roll that kind of configuration out to consumers? Look at the PS3.

four processors, four times the fun. funny how apple is gettin the best of intel when they just signed on with them.

The PowerMacs can't be switched over early. Many of the professional apps, especially those that rely heavily on Altivec, haven't been completely "ported" yet. Remember, there are still many new "PowerPC products yet to come"- SJ. (Dual Core G5) I don't doubt early MacIntels, but the PowerMac certainly wouldn't be first to switch.

Sorry.I wasn't implying that system was going to be the first off the MacIntel line..I'd be willing to bet it's a system being tested though..
We could see iBooks and eMacs with Intel inside..( never thought I'd say that ) since they really arn't designed for the power user..

Come on people. It's basically dual dual-core processors, that's 4 CPUs. We might be getting this as early as Wednesday if the Powermacs get the PowerPC 970MP. Although It won't have Hyperthreading, which is pretty much useless in most cases.
