Significant upgrade to Mac Pro very soon? (link)

I reckon it will get the equivalent 32nm Gulftown processors branded the Xeon 36xx and 56xx series.

No reason to use the $999 Core i7 Extreme 980 XE.
 
I'm sorry! I was not informed I had reached a cryptic number that somehow would prevent me from throwing a joke 😱
 
Seriously. Doesn't the ship date usually change to ship in 3 to 5 days a few days before release or is that just a few finite times?
 
Seriously too – is there a time of day (U.S. Eastern or Pacific) when these things are announced? Pre-dawn starting with a temporary shutdown of the Apple online store? A 10am (Pacific) press release? Or totally random, just to keep us guessing?

I realize that in the big scheme of things, these details matter not a whit. But what the heck.

It's usually around 9-10am eastern that the press releases come out. At least I think it was for the last 3 releases.
 
I'll pass on this one. No worth upgrading for a 20-30% speed bump. Hate to see what they will charge for this. 😕
